cecelia warner - Masquerade Party

If the world was invited
to a masquerade party,
Most people would arrive early
and a select few would be tardy.
There's so many different
costumes you would see.
Some would look 'kind of busy'
and others, maybe, 'carefree'.
Maybe some would
appear as 'cute as a bug',
watch them as they dance...
bet they could really 'cut a rug'.
So many of them
would be scary, I bet.
Don't be afraid though
because they haven't unmasked, yet!
At the end of this masquerade
we get to see who's really who...
This, my friend, is more scary
because you'll find they're not the people you thought you knew.
