Foggy London morn
Tea and scones by the window
Now I understand...

The dog stood in the bread bin
He was staring out to sea
So he baked some scones, bread and cakes
And we had them for our tea....

table of pies and baskets of scones
catnip for Sassy and Sparky gets the bones
sweetness in the air and flour on the floor
home is my love and a whole lot more....

feels like spring in Paris, yet, is it?
but the autumn colors share their truth
we dine on apple cider and pumpkin scones
delicate and dainty, loving the outside cafe...

Flowers in chocolate-drizzled waffle cones,
Wrapped in a bouquet of such satiny gold;
Filled with the scent of rosemary scones,
As well as macaroons with colors so bold....

Route 66ish No 18

In Denver a waitress supreme,
Always proffered her scones dipped in cream,
She would wriggle her hips,
So she got lots of tips,
While the menfolk all let off some steam!!...

apple pie for breakfast. Dessert is whipping cream.
Fine chocolate scones with raisins plainly seen.
Extra sweet white icing on my two cinnamon rolls.
Diabetes? Me? Well I guess this is how it goes....

Twin giraffes are we
each day at five we take tea

Lots of folk watch us each day
eat scones&cream on a tray

With our tongues we lick clean our face
some consider such etiquette a disgrace

Flour
Makes a great paste
Tortes, scones, cobblers, muffins
Cinnamon and sugar crust, yum!
Cakes and pies would be nothing without it
Donut making relies on it
Throw in some sugar please
Necessary

Pinkie’s annual garden party was in full swing.
With a tea bell on the table, and a sheep’s floral ring.
Her fancy china was prissy, lemon scones ready to sing.
Pinkie the sheep loved this time of year – spring....

She spoke of urbane gentlemen
and friendly squalls of rain
yet thanked Christ
for her baked scones
and well rotted manure
and gratitude for not being a Lioness,
a cause celebre never in the making
mopping the Freemasons floor...

Have some more scones with jam and cream,
And a mound of spuds for tea,
Then you'll find your obesity,
With them carbs will be your mortality,
It is your responsibility,
To limit your own gluttony,
There are, indeed, bad calories,
Carboholics eat too much, you see!...

Rhonda invited some guest for Evening tea.
Sandwiches, scones n cakes made her glee.
Lil Sam was not allowed, his mind mischiefs
He hides two mice in Nanny's kerchief.

Cakes, cookies, brownies, and pies;
Scones, pastries, muffins, and tarts;
Biscuits, bagels, and bread: Oh my!
Creating these gifts much joy doth impart.
I don’t believe I’m overstating the part.
So very few folks alive grasp this gift.
Life is all about what you bake of it!...

The art is fading,
Like the civility it shows.
Hard now to find those
Who understand the shading
One needs to give to common speech,
To convey benedicence
Through common sense,
And with all the forms of courtesy teach
A repartee' that clashes not like jagged, tumbling stones;
Reclaiming dignity over our tea and scones....

A young newlywed colleen from Clones*
Surprised her husband with freshly baked scones.
Said the hubby, named Keith,
"Dear, I don't mean to beef,
But my teeth are more suited to biscuits than stones."

*A small town in Western County Monaghan, Ireland.

Riding on the backs of giant snails
Ships with cotton candy sails
Iridescent castles, bubble blown
Mountains made of chocolate scones
Pigs that fly upside down in the sky
The moon at night made of cream pie
Riding through the sky on dragon tails
Sunbathing on the backs of whales
I believe in all these things
Even the lullabies a unicorn sings...

Perfect Cuppa.

Another cup of tea my dear
white two sugars, was it not?
A scone, a cake, a cracker
or something nice and hot?

Oh, yes please crackers and cheese
will be enough for me and yes I'd love a cuppa
but no sugar in my tea.
I'm not one for eating cakes
and I don't much care for scones
but I'll have another cuppa
when this one has gone....

You hum a song, 
it ignites all of my hormones;
A melody within my bones  
on a beach dressed in a sarong;  
An island vibe no right or wrong,  
enraptured I am filled with moans; 
You hum a song 
playing with you I strum along; 
Pure passion no trace on our phones;
Finished off with coffee and scones, 
lost in what I pray to prolong;
You hum a song....

Tropical Thoughts

Gangrened toes, vitrified nose
stuffed and starched in puffy clothes

Howling wind biting into my cheek
painful reminder of Dexter’s technique

Cracking boots, frozen bones, 
ready to crumble like yesterday’s scones

I dream of roasting on some desert plain
and promise in August to never complain.
