Glera

~

first to the party, 

in fact any celebration,

arriving incognito, 

as few know you 

by your real name,

all the same you would

be sorely missed if

you failed to show,

a ‘poor girl done good’

transcending humble

beginnings, now at home

from Mayfair to Manhatten

a globetrotting superstar,

the original and best

twenty-first century

working-class socialite
