Come taste the wine

I think that Cabaret's, well ..., not so "Blushing Flower" Elsie

Be stunned to learn about marriage, set for Clinton's daughter, Chelsea

While Elsie made her living renting "by the hour"

The quarter million dollars Clintons spent just for arranging Chelsea's marriage flowers



While richest crowd gathered in upstate NY well guarded mansion

I am guessing that the invitations card did mention:

"Come taste the wine, come hear the band, come blow your horn, start celebrating;

Go right this way, your table's waiting"



At that same very day (as any other)

The homeless folks, being awfully hungry rather

Without shedding any joy or tears,

Regarding Chelsea's marriage, were in the "Food Kitchen" fed by volunteers



And though that setting was not as glamorous as one in Astor's mansion

I'd wish that serving volunteer mention:

"Come taste the wine, come hear the band, come blow your horn, start celebrating;

Go right this way, your table's waiting"
