There being an entertainment
with dance and dinner
with song and drama
all in a frenzied mood
with a chatter and a clatter
the people in gay mood
with smiles all over
dressed in their finery
the ladies with extra care
touch ups here and there
painted heavily with make ups
lipstick, nail polish and mascara
wearing heavy expensive jewellery 
while the men in their best suits
freshly shaven with lotions on
smelling with aroma from flowers
the food displayed sumptuously
courting many to their delight
a plain menu on the first
added with cuisines from east and west
they too being garnished great
colorfully deigned and on ornate plates
with the waiters standing in attention
all throwing out an extravaganza
while I see four little eyes
peeping through the hedges
eagerly savouring the dishes
they being not allowed inside
nor permitted to touch
as they belong to a genre
much lower than the participants
not because of their birth
bu t due to their financial status
being poor and needy
that being no fault of theirs.
