The Frankenstein Tea Party

His booming laugh made the tea cups rattle, As he enjoyed his bubbly tea, his friends rat and mouse came round to the house To join their friend for tea They all wore masks to protect each other No sickness between them would come He was no mad hatter but he knew what mattered So sanitiser he used, he tried hard not to cough As he slowly rocked to make his friends their tea He put in bags and sugar drops too, waiting for water to bubble In a moment, he walked to where they sat, a tray of treats in his hands He moved kind of slow, as bolts kept him from racing, But this special night was his. No bolt or stitch could stop his itch for his long awaited treat He cut up some tea and cheese for rat and mouse to share, Mouse sipped first and was the first to spit out, Confusing the big old monster, What's happened my friend, he said with a frown, Rat giggling, now on the floor. It wasn't water you used to make the tea But hand sanitizer, is what you gave me, Mouse now laughed and nodded his head In my cup too, it smells. Frankie blushed as he realised what he had done His eyes danced with a little of laughter too. When he saw that instead of water in the kettle, h Heb boiled the hand sanitizer gel And instead of tea, he kept everyone well.
