Sophie’s High Tea
Sophie stopped in
For some tea and a chat
Mommy had the day off
So they were out and about
Doing this thing and that
Sophie sat on my lap
And held her head high
I thought of Emily Post
And manners and etiquette
All things polite
Demure and delicate
Inspired, I could see
Sophie and me
Doing High Tea...
A white china tea pot
Silverware polished
With nary a spot
Pinkies held just so
Sophie’s refinement will show..
We’ll send out invitations
For this festive occasion
Oh, we think we’re so clever
To plan such an elegant
Sophisticated endeavor!
