Cocktail Party -- A poem

Cocktail Party

People gripping
Dripping glasses
Stand in gasping,
Teeming masses.

Laughing, joking,
Smoking, drinking,
Coughing, choking,
Getting stinking.

Some discreetly
Boiled or fried,
Some completely
Ossified.

Liquor spilling,
Trousers sopping,
Steady swilling,
Bodies dropping.

Glasses falling
On the floor,
People calling,
"Drop some more."

Bodies steaming,
Morals stretching,
Women screaming,
Some still fetching.

Heavy smoking,
Air get thicker.
Someone croaking,
"No more liquor!"

What? WHAT?
NO MORE LIQUOR ??

People snicker,
Disbelieving.
No more liquor?
Let's be leaving.

No more drinking?
Groans and hisses!
What a stinking
Party this is!
