The Tea Party: A Poem by Jessica Nelson North

Poem Name: The Tea Party
Author: Jessica Nelson North, who was born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1891.

I had a little tea party
this afternoon at three.
‘Twas very small,
three guests in all,
Just I, myself and me.

Myself ate up the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea.
‘Twas also I who ate the pie,
And passed the cake to me.
