All eyes were low as the first guest arrived
They entered the hall as usually contrived

First came the Doctor muttering orders
Then came a brace of fowl from the waters

A pair of obese ladies entered the scene
Then a blind individual, if you know what I mean.

Some went to the corners and took up their places
Looking around at the expectant faces

There was a knock at the door, though his friend brought the keys
Then a pair of long legs with two dirty knees

The next few to arrive came via Brighton's line
With Mr. Tomas Mix getting here just in time

"Please no more. The house is full!" cried a man in the middle
So no more could enter, as the crowd muttered fiddle.


What has just happened?
