glad to see you,
said the cricket
to the flower.
Hyacinth is
‘round the corner,
Let’s have tea in
half an hour.
(Just don’t slip it
to Narcissus –
she might turn
the party sour.)
Lady Tulip,
barely blooming
might sleep through
the whole affair,
but we’ll show her
photos after
and she’ll wish
she had been there.
Bring your friend
Miss Dahlia –
of course we’ll have
enough to share.
We’ll put our Sunday hats on,
sit demurely on the lawn,
and drink our tea
with petals raised
until it is
all gone.
