The Queen’s Tea Party

Outside Buckingham Palace today
Good job the day was fine
There was a queue of people
Some of the dresses were divine
The Queen had invited them all
To join in a celebration
So dressed up in all their finery
They had taken their invitation.

But the queuing is long and arduous
For people in posh frocks and hats
Thousands of attendees do attend
While people in uniforms fast track
To receive your invitation
You must have done some good
Towards a charity or organisation
Well of course, one would.

Of course, security is really tight
For as well as the invitation
A passport or I.D is needed
Before they reach their destination
Inside there are a few marquees
With two military bands playing
They get tea sandwiches and lemonade
But of course the alcohol is missing.

When I looked at al those people
I said “my invite must be in the post”
For it had not arrived before I left
And I would like to meet the host.
BUT I am averse to queuing
That certainly is not my thing
So when I do get my invite
I would expect to walk right in.

There is nothing better than a cup of tea
In the afternoon, around the time of three
Foron a cold day, tea will warm you
But lovely tea can also calm you.
Tea is such a lovely thing to share
Will a willing friend who cares
So if you want some afternoon tea
Please come over and share with me.

Afternoon Tea

Can’t we have a cup of tea
this afternoon at three?
At a table so small,
in the garden not the hall,
how lovely that would be
for two, just you and me.
Perhaps a little shy
I’ll ask for a piece of pie,
a sandwich would do too --
you don’t want? - I’ll eat two.

Enjoyed Raphael I would not refuse either sandwich or pie thank you
