Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Tea Time

    I said to Abigail Dolly, "will you have tea, dear heart?"
    Of course, she always said yes, oh fond the memory;
    And on my record player, I played a record of Mozart,
    Some days, Kitty came and that made tea for three,

    Long ago,
                  with cookies a la carte.

     On the shaded porch of my peaceful neighborhood,
    "Oh, did you say something, Abigail Dolly, pardon me!"
     Father had made me a little tea table of solid wood,

                Dappled the hues of my childhood.
