roofie does not know housework
it is not something that features
in the exotic life of an eccentric artist
preoccupied with creativity and beauty
she does like entertaining
in her 'Topple Downs' sur mer
an untouched relic from the past
carving a way through canvases
paint pots champagne bottles sculptures
a grand piano crushed under Tenzig and Tambar
2 giant bengal green eyed cats
paint splotched antiques silver urns
fauteuils peeping from nonchalantly dispersed clutter
books here cushions there paintings everywhere
a still life masterpeice
guests (needing a map) finally locate the table
in the garden of eden tropical jungle
are served pink rose petal cream
cumquats in liqueur with streaks of raspberry
not paint ( I hope) with bubbly in fluted glass
the descent from initial prim to riotous giggles
happening in moments...a day worth remembering
