Red Carpet Treatment

The bulbs start flashing
Salem takes a bow

Ladies and gentlemen,
Please allow me to introduce
Myself, Mrs Smith
And I am sorry to say
My accountant, Mr Manfred
Mancinnini
Of southern Italian extract
Few people know this
His father named him after an
Obscure Swabian king

The crowd hushed, bemused,
Mancinnini chuckling
As we spin through the swivel door:

S’what I call the red carpet treatment!
