-- Gigi and Adlai Means have dinner in, situated before the telly and bent over the coffee table in their robes and house slippers.  It's Oscars night and dizzying images on the telly of stars and celebrities in gowns and tuxes posing for paparazzi and Gigi muses, aloud:
--They live such exciting lives.
--Let's have  a party.  We'll invite everyone, Adlai says, unable to stand her long face.
--A dressy party, Gigi says. Satins and silks and feminine manes.
--Topcoats and vests and walking canes.
--A garden party, and dinner for eight.
--A moomlight party, within the gate,
--For our guests of eight.
--On the terrace inside the gate.
--I'll call everyone.
--All eight.
--We'll build a new wall, with a skillful trowell.
--To flatter the gate . . .by the masterful Prowell.
