Granddaughter’s Tea Party by Russ McKay

Yesterday about the hour of three
I was invited to have high tea
My Granddaughter had invited me
And I was happy to be you see
When I arrived I just said “Gee!”
Smaller teacups…there just couldn’t be
She instructed me…”Please take a seat!”
“Where DO I put my feet?”
“Oh just stick them out there anywhere
It doesn’t matter I really don’t care”
So I removed my baseball hat
And with great difficulty down I sat
My Granddaughter poured me out some air
Which only caused me to start to stare
She lifted up her cup to sip
And I put mine up to my lip
“No wait! Would you like lemon or cream?”
“Ah…yes I’ll have both if it’s all the same”
She poured me out cream air “Say when!”
“Ah…that’s just perfect once again”
“Shall it be one lump or two?”
“As many lumps as pleasures you”
Her wrist she delicately did bend
Serving me two lumps of sweet pretend
“And if you will now my dear sir
It is time for us to stir”
So I began to stir my air
With a great amount of care
“Now try some…tell me how it tastes”
I tried as a guest not to do so with haste
With my pinky finger stuck straight out
I put the cup up to my mouth
But drink the tea I just could not
The tea was much too…much too hot!
I waited…but when I took a sip
I scalded my poor upper lip
My Granddaughter laughed and giggled with glee
“Thank you for coming to tea with me!”
