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 yes, 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! (Sorry but these fits of giddiness will not be denied!) Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 10-20-2001).] |

Thanks Marge. Being Canadian I have eaten a fair share of scones! I carried that habit with me when I left Canada. Haven't had any in too long now. Wish I had some of your Aunt Jewells right now! Betty Lou Hebert |

Moon Dust: Thanks for commenting. It is reminiscent of that tea party scene in Alice. I hadn't thought about that, but you're right. Betty Lou Hebert |
