They'll grace my table in silk and lace Elegant ladies with impeccable taste The menu was planned with meticulous care Succulent roast beef so tender and rare Turn on the oven and it's time to start It will be a while so l take a slow bath The water is warm and I stay too long A smell wafts through acrid and strong Rush to the oven and open the door Engulfed by smoke I drop to the floor The guests should be here in an hour two I need to think fast about what to do Go out to the garden and a bandicoot I see My cat has killed it and it lies 'neath a tree I've heard that the meat is juicy and sweet My guests will love it and declare it a treat The time arrives and I serve up the roast With bated breath I await the toast Then on someone's plate a tail appeared Most of them swooned the rest disappeared!!

I can see this as a little dramatic farce. Nicely described and amusing.
