Esoteric Erik spoke transparently and set off for the no-secrets fair,
Quaint Aunt White donned a black dress and set modern jewels in her hair;
Unlucky Jim won big on the horses, slipped and fell into the arms of an heiress,
Imogen the tiny sat on a see-saw; 3 mice were placed opposite, it wobbled a lot less;
Lying Tony went free but the charges stuck the same*,
Industrious Bella sat back in her chair, her interest on the wane;
Brian the terror helped an old lady safely across the street,
Ryan the saint stole £10 from a shop and legged it on his feet;
Imaginative Susan put on a plain grey dress and went to the shop,
Una the scruffy went to the ball and was taken for quite the posh fop;
Moments make the world turn, but it all balances out eventually.
*Sorry.
