Cream And Sugar

CREAM AND SUGAR

A splendid afternoon
having yummy cake and tea,
And lively conversation with
the finest friends that could ever be.

The chit, the chat about this and that,
the dresses trimmed with laces,
The bric~a~brac from the china rack
of the hostess ever gracious.

The tinkling and clinking
of the cups and silver spoons,
Add music to the perfumed air
and play a delicate tune.

Sweet cream and sugar bring back memories
of those younger days in June,
With yummy cake and tea
on a splendid afternoon.
