The Barnyard was a buzz with noise,
They heard about the big party,
They wondered who the guests would be
Mimi, Pat, Sue and Marty?
What to wear, who to bring?
They oinked, and mooed and squawked!
Susan coming? BJ or Carol?
They wondered while they talked.
Now Donkey who’s the dumbest one,
He’s sometimes called Jack Ass,
Brought up a burning question
He hoped it wasn’t crass.
“So Chicken, Pig and Bessie Cow,
I hope this is not rude
Though I may not be as smart or cute,
I won’t be Party FOOD!”
Oh, do not worry, I only jest
No meat we will partake,
The invite clearly stated,
Please come for tea and cake!
Please go join Lynn at Happier Than a Pig in Mud, she’s serving…
Thanks, for visiting! Grab a rib on your way out! :)
I am also joining Gollum at Designs by Gollum for Foodie Friday, and Suzy at Kitchen Bouquets for Flashback Friday.
Thank you , Ladies!
Kathleen, this is so cute! You'ze a poet and dinnit know it! While I love ribs, I'm most interested in the desserts (imagine that!). Please tell what that amazing looking pie is and don't spare the details! Thanks so much for joining the Bash:@)
