Luncheon was fun
At 21,
Then I had to run
For drinks at the Plaza.
WOMAN
Dined with John,
Le Pavillon,
Then flew right on
To St. Mark s Piazza.

Took a group
For onion soup
At dawn at Les Halles.
It never shuts --
ELLA
Like Chock-Full-of-Nuts.

My Christian Dior
I wore, then tore,
Got fitted for
A new Balenciaga.
Then to Jacques Fath
For just one hat --
Got something that
Will drive you ga-ga.

Things with good lines.
