"Please come to my party! " said Jenny to Prue; / "I'm going to have Willy, and Nelly, and you; / I'm going to have candy and cake and ice-cream, / We'll play Hunt-the-Slipper, we'll laugh and we'll scream.
We'll dress up in caps, we'll have stories and tricks, / And you won't have to go till a quarter past six!"
But alas! When she mentioned her party, at tea, / Her mother said, "No! It can't possibly be!"
So Jane had to go and explain to her friends, / And that is how many a Goop party ends!
Just speak to your mother before you invite, / And then it's more likely to happen all right!
