Notes About The Poem

Time For Tea

I’ve set my table; time for tea!
It is an elegant affair.
My doggie sits across from me.
For Teddy there’s a tiny chair.

My two girl cats on chairs sit too.
I’ve set my table; time for tea.
My boy cat Prince begins to mew.
Beside me on the floor is he.

A cup and saucer gingerly
I lay down for him on the floor.
I’ve set my table. Time for tea
with all my friends that I adore:

Three cats, a dog (sweet pets are they),
and my dear teddy bear so wee.
The same as I do every day,
I’ve set my table. Time for tea!

Jennifer Proxenos November 12, 2021 at 6:36 AM Cute Andrea, your tea time seems like a whole lot of fun - I remember when I was a little girl I often did this but always invited my mom who had to sit amongst a dog a cat and hold a rabbit! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Caren Krutsinger November 11, 2021 at 11:21 AM This reminds me of faerie tale books that rhymed which my mother read to us during our childhood.
