STRANGE INTERLUDE
Margaret Fishback
I went to tea at Elizabeth's house,
And what did she serve but teal
I sat as still as a well-bred mouse
WhenIwenttoteaatElizabeth'shouse.
I didn't snarl and I didn't grouse
Though I was distressed to see
Thattea at myfriend Elizabeth's house
Meant absolutely tea.
