Prompt from: Three Word Wednesday

3WW: naughty, tactic, zenith


One Lump Or Two
Feeling rather naughty,
I decline her invitation to tea
for no other reason than
I have never cared for her tricks
and condescending tactics.
I imagine platters of tiny sandwiches,
scones with jam and clotted cream,
cakes and short breads and sweets,
the zenith of gourmand gluttony,
feel a pang of impulsive regret,
quite sure Georgina will reveal what
I missed when she rings me tomorrow.

Marianne- So good to see you at 3WW. I always love where given words take me.

"the zenith of gourmand gluttony,
feel a pang of impulsive regret"...

Sounds like there were more reasons than sweets not to go.
