The English Garden Party
The English Garden Party (In Perth, Scotland)
Summer dresses wafting in the breeze,
Sunday best if you please,
small talk, flowers, and honey bees.
The sun’ shining to warm the day
while people smile and say,
“At least the rain has stayed away”
There’s a cake -and candy-stall
and tables set for tea.
There’s croquet on the lawn,
and a box for donations,
as nothing’s free.
The gazebo’s full of the old folk
retreating from the sun,
a dashing dog and a crying baby,
yes, everyone’s having fun!
The afternoon is soon gone,
so is the sandwiches and tea,
everyone’s had a lovely time,
returning home carefree.
