Tea Time

"Do come and have some tea", said scone,
"I hate to drink it all alone!"

"Why, yes I will," the jam replied.
"Now let your conscience be your guide.
For there are others to invite.
Like cookie, cake and vegamite."

"Oh, no, not him," said scone once more.
"I always find him such a bore,
But yet I will, if you insist,
So add him to the growing list.
Bagel always makes me smile
And muffin said he'd come awhile!"

Now ladyfinger heard the stir
And wondered if they'd invite her,
But when she asked, then she was told,
That black pekoe was too bold,
For someone delicate and fey.
So she went home and drank Earl Grey!

This is just yummy scrumptious. I take my tea with milk and sugar, please.  

And on that note, it's time for me to have another cup.

Hugs, Marti

Dear Marge:  Thanks!  When life gets a little too grim, I always seem to resort to pieces like this.  Most of them I never post!

dear Betty Lou,
my friend Biscotti is wondering whether she can come to your party too.
