Tea Time

My aunt's a fan of "Tea Time,"
Which takes place each day at 4,
When drinks and chips and dips are served 
And sometimes even more.

We sit and schmooze and sip and nosh
Before our evening meal.
It's time to just chill out; relaxing
Is the main appeal.

By dinner time, if we head out,
We've had our share of booze,
Our restaurant bill much lighter,
'Cept for refills, if we choose.

Ilene, I like this poem of your aunt's tea party. Imaginative, relaxing, and subtle kinship. -Richard
