hot tea and crumpets
cool cucumber sandwich
no beer in sight

prissy tea room
tarot card atmosphere
women titter...

When Gabriel sounds the trumpet
There'll be no time for crumpets
You'll stand and wait
At the Pearly Gate
But you won't be able to jump it...

Sir Ian McKellen's a blast. 
He once graced a day of my past:
warm crumpets in bed,
my cheeks turning red,
til Patrick appeared with a gasp!

Blind sight in reflected face lye crumpets.
Taste-falling feet,crimson shrooms.
''Is this real?''Vanished truth.

My mind is slipping a bit more each day
Soon won't be able to come out to play
They'll lock me up
A dangerous old duck
Serve me tea and crumpets as I sit and crochet...

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Margarine in a tub,
Without any butter the table is bare
The crumpets, the muffins, 
Bread from the loaf tins
They all need to be buttered thick
For the most satisfyingly simple fare...

The royal baby newborn was uptight
Just picture yourself greeted by her plight --
   She heard the sound of trumpets
   Was served hot tea with crumpets --
Burned her tongue, and toothless could not bite...

The bakers brekky, was quite the tasty meal.
Eggs, crumpets, and tea plus butter was ideal.
Porridge when it’s brisky,
Cider quaffed so frisky,
Likes his crumpet crispy; brekky glut with zeal.
(And his gut he surely feeled.)...

Once, wild herds of elephants blew trumpets
as spiced tea and jam slathered crumpets 
brightly declared the sun would shine soon,
snapping the spell of a thin crescent moon. 
Like a child's prayer, out flowed golden hair, 
turning nymphs to butterflies everywhere.

A LAD the size of a pea
floated on a lilly PAD in the sea
lonely and SAD was he
for he SAT for hours without tea. 

The lad missed his CAT named Zack
who was ever so jolly and FAT
could chase a RAT up a tree, just like that
all for tea, crumpets, and a nice long PAT.

endings we near
beginnings in sight
giftings so dear
looking for light

the island of 2020
past the whitecaps
with fine crumpets and tea
the rise and fall of handclaps

may your miseries
be far from the lighthouse
may you feel the gentle breeze
and the ho ho ho of Claus

Three a.m.,beloved, longtime friend!
Would you relish tea and crumpets now?
Rushing in fast from inspiration bend!
My eager freshman pen,doth brightly allow.

Ideas grope their way, demand their say.
A bright silver clash,as butterflies dance.
Images, each, powerfully,want their way
As passionate lovers in moonlit romance.

Symbol of the Goddess Kali full of bliss
The Rose of Sharon or Hibiscus
Frilly petals grace trumpets
Make tea for crumpets
Tropical
lover
Never Dull
Butterflies and bees
Drunk like hummingbirds, so pleased
Wear if married or single so fair
Hibiscus, your colors have beauty and flair

"The Night Café" is the name of a painting by Vincent van Gogh, and I have used the title for my poem.


The lights were on dim
in the Night Café
and we could barely
see the food

Priscilla had crumpets
and her boyfriend had one,
while I had
nothing at all

The lights were on dim
in the Night Café
and we won't 
go there again

Down on the farm, the work's never done
   No tea and crumpets or yellow-pink faeries
Farm folks stay busy from first to last light
   Down on the farm, the work's never done
Work ethic's king; havin' fun just ain't right --
   But for listenin' to crickets and scarin' old crows

Down on the farm, the work's never done
   No tea and crumpets or yellow-pink faeries

Sounds of spring
Appreciated and everywhere
Islands of green
New shamrocks wishing us good luck
Tea so delicious with croissants

Patrick a favoured name
Always a march holiday
Time so precious
Real four leaf clovers
Isles of the british
Crumpets so delectable
King and queen so regal

Daylight savings
Attitude so cheerful
You know when St. Patrick's Day is here

Mrs. Fancy Dancy Squirrel kept her pinkie up.
Sharing crumpets and tomatoes as she would sup.
Many were jealous of her beauty, especially my pup.
Her complexion is gorgeous, like a buttercup.

Her exotic teas are delicious, wild, romantic and sweet.
Her frosted homemade nut-berry scones were tidy and neat.
Her acorn crumbled walnut pie is a rare exotic treat.
Mrs. Fancy Dancy Squirrel’s tearoom truly can’t be beat....

Needs some motivation
Something to get me
going
Try'na be right this time
She said I was boring

Ain't know need
Messing around
Gotta good thang here
Don't like being way to long
My lady likes to
Keep me near

Ain't know need in carrying on
Listen to some music
Baby got it going on
Like what she's doing
Loving you
Is living myself
Baby listen
I don't want know one else
You're I've been missing

All For A Klondike Bar!

 I would sail the mighty blue sea,
Tame a puffy green dragon to flip like a flea,
With the Queen have tea and crumpets dressed as a drag queen,
Run the Boston Marathon without wearing a thing,
Ride a hundred camels through downtown Miami,
Become the pink bottle Genie,
Drive across the US in mobile hot dog wienie.
Wear an itsy bitsy bikini on TV,
all with the hopes of biting into a cold crisp, 
creamy Klondike bar!...
