One of us
is preparing for a dinner party tonight.
A lavish menu has been planned
and every pot, pan, chopping board, knife,
ladle, worksurface, gadget,
and recipe book has been pressed into service.
Guests to be seated by 8 p.m.
His younger brother's special champagne jellies
are in the fridge.
There may be dancing.
The rest of us are going out.
It's pretty cold out there.
We hope that the Snow Ball will not go on until dawn.
