Afternoon Tea



My 
Two
Dearest
Friends 
and me 
Shared a scrumptious
Afternoon Tea
of 
Sandwiches
Scones
Cakes
and Cream
a more delicious tea
we had ne’er seen
So much there to eat
at this afternoon treat
Washed down 
with a nice cup of tea
An English tradition you see
                                
The poshest place we have eaten
was Afternoon Tea at The Ritz 
As fast as we ate
they filled up our plate
So full up were we 
not easy you see
to squeeze ourselves 
out through their door
Unable to eat anymore 

But enjoy if you’re able
on a beautifully laid table
sandwiches ~ scones ~ cakes and cream 
washed down with the best Earl Grey tea 
Come join my dearest friends and me
