We Danced at Bank

Friday night we danced at Bank
A restaurant of high rank
But let's go back to the start
And see how the Christmas party moved our hearts

The line to the cloakroom was art
Our zigzag was quite smart
We shook Ritva's and Teemu's hands by the door
With the punch we walked to our tables on the floor

The president opened the show 
Explaining the one-year-old toddler's way to go
The festivity began
And we saw the magic man

The magician drank some beer
Counting the cards in the pack without fear
He played with balloons with one in his nose
The assistant on stage looked like a lily or rose

Later he played with a piece of string like a king
It was a magic rope, or how did he fake it?
It's hard to know how he could make it
Was it one or two or what did he do?

He made some loops
They disappeared just like "oops"
Very well he used his hands and fingers
Before we heard the singers

I'm not even able
To describe the gourmet on the table
You can seldom eat such heavenly food
I sent thanks to the kitchen in a good mood

Pola Ivanka
From Finland, not Sri Lanka
Sang the ladies to the stage
Some of her words slipped down below the waist

Pola's Tipitii was vibrant and brilliant
With Marion's "s" so sibilant
I don't recall what she sang in Lea's role
But then she switched to adult Paula's mode

The child of the earth
Was on a search
When Pola began to imitate Katri-Helena
In the musical arena 

The audience did applaud
Whenever Pola had a pause
I even made some Indian sound
You heard it if you were around

Live rock was rolling in the hall
With the rhythm sinking into us all
We enjoyed the singer's voice
And the band made the dancers rejoice

The almost one-year-old did very well
Giving us a Christmas party so swell
Thanks to all who made this possible
For giving us a party hardly vincible
