You Know That Party?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You Know That Party
\nYou\u2019re Going To . . .<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

\u2018Cause Usually You
\nLight a Match
\nto Those Invitations,
\nChoosing, Instead, to
\nBe At Home, Reading
\nThat Tom Robbins Novel
\nor Watching Adam Sandler In
\n\u201cPunch-Drunk Love\u201d
\nfor the Fifth Time.<\/p>\n

You Know That Party
\nYou\u2019re Going To . . .<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

\u2018Cause Usually You
\nToss Those Invitations,
\nChoosing, Instead, To
\nSit on the Couch and Stew
\nAbout that Leaky Faucet
\nand the Unmowed Lawn
\nand the Car You\u2019re
\nToo Damn Lazy to Wash.<\/p>\n

You Know That Party
\nYou\u2019re Going To . . .<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

Your Friends Will Be There,
\nSomeone Will
\nTurn Up the Music
\nTill Even You
\nPretend You
\nKnow How To Dance.<\/p>\n

But Here\u2019s the Best Part:<\/p>\n

You Know the One
\nSome Call God,
\nBut You Call The Maker?<\/p>\n

The Maker
\nWants To Be Your Date
\nat That Party.<\/p>\n

The Maker
\nLoves Parties.<\/p>\n

The Maker
\nWants To Go With You
\nto That Party.<\/p>\n

No, Wait . . .<\/p>\n

The Maker
\nWants To Go
\nAS
\nYou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
