Three Guests

I had a little tea party,This afternoon at three;’Twas very small,Three guests in all,Just I, myself, and me.

Three Guests

Myself ate up the sandwiches,While I drank up the tea,’Twas also IWho ate the pieAnd passed the cake to me.

Why I Like This Poem

• Cindy: I like this poem because of the little surprise. At the beginning, the title misleads me to think that there are actually three guests in the tea party. In fact, the “three guests” are all the little girl herself.

• Jill :This poem let me recall my childhood, when no one can accompany me, I would image there were someone playing with me.
