Prim and Proper

I don't remember tea parties, but I do remember making mudpies.


Tea Parties
China teacups, little dishes,
Matching teapot, filled with wishes,
Dainty lace, edged with pearls,
Tiny chairs for little girls,
Prim and proper, lots of giggles,
Can’t sit still, squirms and wiggles,
Dolls and dress up, fairy tale dreams,
Through the window sunlight streams,
Sparkling jewelry, teddy bears,
Long summer days without cares,
Pretend to eat cupcakes topped with sprinkles,
Rosy cheeks, and eyes that twinkle,
Tea parties bring so much joy,
Unless you are a little boy.
