Edgar Guest - The Card Club’s First Meeting
Work rating: Low

The battles for the pickle dish once more are under way, 
The Uno Pedro Club is first and foremost in the fray.
It started off auspiciously, without a sign of frown, 
Good Mrs. Green put all at ease by kissing Mrs. Brown.

Then Mrs. Johnson graciously kissed Mrs. Jackson`s lips,
And Mrs. Watson followed suit by kissing Mrs. Phipps; 
Then all formality was dropped, and everyone grew cheery, 
When Mrs. Rich, the president, called Mrs. Bilkins "dearie."

I can`t describe the sweetness and the tenderness displayed,
No one remarked that Mrs. Gray was once a lady`s maid;
With arms around each other`s waists they sat and planned things out,
And everyone was loving and no one wore a pout.

I listened to her story, and a gentle smile I wore,
I `d heard of women kissing and of loving ones before;
And I wondered as I heard her rave about the lovely meeting, 
Just which of them will be the first to be accused of cheating.
