The Mad Hatter's Party and All that Folderol.......

Mad Hatter's Party

bowls of custard

Birds and bees flit through the trees
Folk in dress up oh such fun
Straw hats striped epaulets of blue
To the Mad Hatter's party
They do come

Knocking knees beneath the table
Hands grab out reaching for food
Lots of cream cakes coloured biscuits
Strawberries and raspberries too

Dishes filled with creamy custard
Syllabubs with chocolate drops
Iced oranges and lemons
Candied cherries atop fairy cakes
Yummy choices they do make

The Chef

red geraniums

Down the table pots of geraniums
Bright red in colour were they
Taken from the Hatter's cellar
Where they grow in disarray

Now they decorated table
Scenting with special aroma
Those whose nostrils then would flair
Enjoying what was offered to them
Taste and smell and visual pleasings
Beyond whatever came before

These the chef
Did place before them
Wise was he in ways of the world
Knowing of their appetites
Too numerous to curb

after all they were his guests

Entourage

Old Uncle Tom Cobley and All

Into the dining room there came
The Queen of Hearts and KIng of Spades
Together with their entourage
Dick Whittington the Cat
John Buckett the Cow
Old Uncle Tom Cobbley and All

Some dragged their feet
Others stood up tall
It mattered not at all
Their invitations pinned they were
Behind
Before
On bums and tums
In various ways
Too numerous to identify

Frivolous Fun

frivolous fun....

What this is all about
I dont know
A fine tale it does tell
If you have the whim to read it
And the wit to let it go

After all when said and done
Just a piece of frivolous ranting
Like so many like to do
Here there and everywhere
Mostly just maginative fun

and so it is......
