The House of Yes (poem)

You alcoholics, you three. When Mummy dies, bet there’ll be a mutiny. Know you all never enjoyed scrutiny.  But, Button.

She was always best dressed.  She always knew the boys in the room, who'd settle for lipstick & doom, yet so soon as she'd swoon  be some poon on the floor they'd slither towards the door.
