Sweet Delights

Old Granny Small was a lovely old lady,
She smiled through her wrinkles and never gave into time,
We lived right next do to her,
And I must say it was quite a delight,
She had ancient recipes from before I was born,
The smell of her baking was a gift to the air!
I always loved it when she would invite us to tea,
Sharing her sugary treats with all of the village,
Her buttery scones at one corner sat next to vanilla cookies,
In the centre a chocolate cake with yummy strawberries at the top,
Smiling ginger bread men dressed in red and green button for the affair, 
Tempting lemon pie and heavenly strudel,
Cream filled donuts with an inviting glow,
Cherry topped delicious muffins and shining orange jam, 
All this with a warm cup of tea,
I had died and rose in heaven,
My sweet tooth could never forget this affair!
