On the Town

On the Town

O Darling, you look so somptueuse.
Your fashion sense is first page news,
but then, you’ve always been très chic.
Let’s do the town – all night…all week!

My watered silks?  They’re from Paris;
the fan’s handmade.  It’s from Capri.
The jewelry’s from Bendel’s boutique.
Let’s do the town – all night…all week!

Let’s ditch this party; find the hub.
Hey, Cabbie.  To the 'Cotton Club'…
then maybe 'Stork.'  We’re on a streak.
Let’s do the town – all night…all week!

We’ll pop a cork and toast ‘til dawn
at ‘21’ and then move on
for breakfast with our little clique.
Let’s do the town – all night…all week!

Notes:  The form is Kyrielle.  The poem was inspired by Sepia Saturday, whose prompt theme is 'Going Out."  This was a real fun romp.
