Under the Old Willow tree

Under a willow tree I sat
Sipping on my tea, feeling quite fat
But little did I know
That my peaceful moment would soon go

A voice, out of nowhere, did it appear
"May I join you? I do love tea, my dear"sir
I searched around, but no one was there
Until I looked down, and to my despair

A frog, with a top hat, sat on a log ,
I closed and rubbed my eyes, but to my surprise,
Upon opening my eyes,
He did still setting there,
On a log a little frog,
With a top hat,

A thought do cross my mind, Am I mad,
Have I lost my mind
blown away in the wind,
Of a cool Summer breeze.

So I look down again and
He smiled and said, "Sir, may I sit?
I do love tea, can't deny it one bit"

I was taken aback, didn't know what to do,
But with a hesitant voice I did said, "Sure, have a seat, little frog, won't you?"

He beamed and said, "Thank you, thank you,
I will"so please And so we sat, sipping our tea, nice

Still I couldn't believe my luck, nor my eyes,
Sitting with a frog, wearing a top hat, what a surprise.

But then, to my amazement, a turtle he did came by,
Wearing a tie, he to said, "Sir, may I join you? Oh my!"

I chuckled to myself, and thought, why not?
I'm having tea with a frog and a turtle, what a plot

No one would believe me, even if I told them,
That I had tea with a frog and a turtle, so bold

As we sat and sipped, the frog and the turtle
They had plenty to say, in their own little world.

I sat there quietly, not sure what to say.
To a frog in a top hat, and a turtle in a tie, having tea, Sipping away.

But as time went by, and the tea was gone
I started to puff on my pipe, feeling quite calm.

To my surprise, the frog did to the same
And the turtle, under the willow tree,
He to did the same

As I watched them smoke, and giggle and chat
I couldn't help but think,
This is insane,
No one would believe,
That I had tea with a frog,
A turtle, under a willow tree
Sipping on tea, it was just too funny to believe

But as they finished their tea, and said their goodbyes
I sat there, in disbelief,
With wide eyes.

No one would ever believe me, that's for sure.
But I knew it happened,
And that's all that mattered,
for sure.
The End
