The Animals' Tea Party

Toast and marmalade for tea
Sailing ships upon the sea."
-Tin Tin, 1971

Goats and marmosets for tea
Snails and thrips and angry bees
You're more beautiful than me
With your tea served in the trees.

As the sun plays through the leaves
Chipmunks leap from limb to limb
Striving to be biscuit thieves
Fill your teacup to the brim.

Start mine with a bit of cream
Sip my tay, lean back, day dream
As the marmosets convey
With the chipmunks they would play.

I just found the favorite poet button, for obvious reasons, Jessica. I love your playfulness, sense of fun, and whimsical poetry!
