Monday's Poem: Big City Tea Party

Big City Tea Party

Tea Party!  Tea Party!

Box, pillows, bear;

Box is on the balcony;

Party's out there.

Box makes the table.

Pillows make the chairs.

Bear wears a happy smile;

I love my teddy bear.

Bear's brought a cookie.

I brought the tea.

I have an old tea set

A neighbor gave to me.

Tea pot lid is missing.

We only have one cup.

Bear and I don't mind at all.

We make what's missing up.

Our royal castle's in the sky

Seven stories high.

Our kingdom is the neighborhood

And pigeons that fly by.

We share a crumb of cookie

With pigeons when they rest.

They don't want tea like bear and me;

They're simply cookie guests.

Tea Party!  Tea Party!

Come and have some tea.

You're welcome to the party

With bear and birds and me.
