Tea Party

The 4 year olds were all invited
For a cup of tea,
Though whether they will drink it
Is a mystery to me.

A get-together after school,
With only girls allowed,
Seems like a perfect setting
For the ballet-dancing crowd.

The babysitter runs the show
With toys and games and snacks 
So all the moms and nanas
Have some time to just relax.

Though calling it a tea party
Brings Alice to my mind,
In modern lingo, I would guess
It's differently defined.

With 4-year-olds girls, one can expect continuous loud noise, so I imagine you composed this afterward? Well done! Aloha! Rico
