Lunch at Crumpet's by Balisha
We met at noon and traveled east to a little town not far..
The four of us laughed all the way in our Jeanine's fast car.
Mary said, "Where is this place that you are taking me?
I'm starved and farm land is really all that I can see."
We girls had been there many times and told her to just wait...
The drive is long.. but very soon you'll have a fancy plate.
The food is just for ladies...so delicate and neat..
It isn't a place for men who really would like meat.
We parked the car and crossed the street and went inside the door..
Such pretty things we were to see...of Victorian decor.A book that held the menu... it told of tasty things..
The special for today was chicken ala king.
Shirley wanted bread pudding...she was reading of desserts..
We ordered pie and cake and ate till tummies hurt.
We talked of days gone by and recipes of older times..
Moms and Grandmas cooked from scratch their food was just sublime.
We left the restaurant later and made our way round town..
Trying on some hats and acting like a clown.
A clothing store was found just across the street,
More laughs when we saw swim suits that really did look neat.
At last the day was over and we were heading to the car..
We sighed a little sigh and got ready to drive far.
This day was so much fun...we gals decided on the way..
To do it once again when we need a day to play.
