Animated chatter at the Embassy event
Words exchanged: Political, empty, arty,
Sometimes cleavage predominates,
Subliminal messages sent...
A typical cocktail party.
If asked, I would guess that
The gentle art of coversation
Has ancient roots, as old as the fire
Which warmed the hunter's narration,
Poking the embers, chewing the fat,
Our ancestors in furry attire
Finding ways to categorize
The grunts and feral exclamations
To match the passion in their eyes
To recall the fear, blood, and grit,
Which put that night's meat on the spit.
So, on and on the jawing went,
Sqatting and describing animal kills,
Until someone evolved to be eloquent,
Acquring the requisite verbal skills,
To be used & displayed at the Embassy event.
