HANDSHAKING AND SMALL TALKING

Handshaking
and small talking
dressing up
and breaking down

Socialites
and social lights
shining on our many
imperfections

But you have to go
you will be missed
it just won't be the same
without you

Say those who
disappear
when the more
important people
enter the ballroom

Leaving you
to stand
alone
finishing your sentence
to a walking back

Thank you
for the invitation
but please send no more
as we will
gratiously
decline

I have been to this type of function. Hate them with a passion. Rather be at home with a good book and a glass of wine!

I agree, I think I'd rather do just about anything but @cecicastor!
