Cassandra's Tea Party

Cassandra decided to give a tea party
And brewed up a flavorful tea that was hearty
She invited her dolls and a fluffy old bear
And a little stuffed monkey with straggly hair

Tired of her little toy tea cups in red
She got out her mother's fine china instead!
Lovely pink flowers around every cup
She put them on saucers and filled them all up!

With the most proper manners that you've ever heard
She served tea to her guests as it ought to be served
With fine china teacups all over the floor
And cookies and crackers and pretzels and more

Cassandra! What are you doing in there?
I'm just serving tea to my dolls and my bear
Mother opened the door and was astonished to see
Her beautiful tea cups all brimming with tea

Cassandra! Cassandra! What have you done!
Mother's fine china is not meant for fun
We've got just a little more partying to do
Don't worry, I'll wash them as soon as we're through!

And I bet she would have washed them too. How sweet.

Yesterday is history,
tomorrow just a mystery.
And if today is good to me,
it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday!

Denise and ohme,
They help us relive our own childhood, don't they? Glad you both enjoyed it.

Elizabeth,
The party sounded just great,
An invite I'd appreciate.
Wonderful poem I enjoyed.
