==========

Sumputuous supper served,
More than the guests deserved.
They're not enough high classed
To qualify for such a fine repast.

Gruel and mutton the boss averred
Were enough, though tonight he'd swerved.
And set out a feast for his workers
His secretary/wife, these were friends, hers.

Such is the fall of great men.
They succumb to an occasional yen.
Their good sense goes all to hell
Because of a cute minion's smell.
