Summary
This quote is a playful rhyming explanation of why some of the people mentioned (Ricky, Lizzie, and Mitchell) were unable to make it to a gathering or event. It humorously states that Ricky is absent because he is sick with the flu, Lizzie couldn't attend because she had homework to complete, and Mitchell is most likely lost on his way. The speaker then concludes that they are the only remaining person who was able to attend the gathering, implying that their love or presence is enough to make the occasion special.
