She Said, He Said, They Said ..

She said:

Excuse me Sir, Hope
I'm not in your way
We are new to this town and
have moved next door to stay
We are a small family
of my father and me
And I would like to borrow
a few spoons of tea.

He Said:

Oh, Miss, please be seated 
I am very glad to know
That we have new neighbours
Let me first say welcome and hello.
We too are a small family
Of just my aunt and me
Oh, where are my manners
I forgot the tea.
Would you like Lipton, Earl Grey
Or the Orange Pico
If you need anything else
Please feel free to let me know.

~ Krishna ~

She Said :

Thank you my dear chap, 
but a slice of lemon with our tea 
will do just fine, 
we are from England you see, 
for instant tea will never do 
we insist upon our daily brew. 

~ TT LARK ~

He Said :

a wholesome brew is tea
with lemon and a dash of honey
and here you are the leaves first flush
they make in you your adrenalin rush
and if your father might out to tea
give me a tinkle and do invite me
the good book says love thy neighbour
and in your house i'd merrily be .....

~ Vikram ~

She Said :

Thank you sir, thank you kindly,
My father is the pastor and will be happy to see,
Who our pious neighbours be,
If next Sunday you are free,
Please come home for cakes and tea,
With your aunt if she is not busy,
For dear father would also like her company…

~ Sujata ~

He Said :

Your  kind  invitation  is  welcome
I  anticipate  with  pleasure
The  visit  to  your  home
For  tea  and  some  leisure
Pardon  me  for  this  query
But  do  you  have  a  clock
For  your  dear  father  may  hurry 
To  tend  to  his  flock
Sunday  will  be  fine
With  your  father  busy  preaching
My  shoes  I  shall  shine
And  arrive  for  our  second  meeting !

~ Mohan ~

She Said :

dear sir, you needn't shine your shoes
just dye your hair or my father would choose
for me to call you uncle, you see
he loves contemporary company
i'd rather with your aunt be
and talk of literature and history
while you with my father could confess
why the clock you chose him to profess

~ Vikram ~

He Said :

From the naughty gleam in your eyes
I know these pastor stories are lies
So please stop trying to scare me
Lets just relax and have some tea

~ Shanta ~

She Said :

my father is not the pastor
but he is actually The Undertaker
not the one who buries the stiff
but the wrestler who punches a mighty biff
tea would be fine at a quarter to nine
for he loves practice with mortals divine
i hope you have the insurance
for even my vain assurance
would be lost for he would be in the know
that tea is but an outwardly show

~ Vikram ~

He Said :

How do I know u telling the truth?
you sound like a girl I used to know in school
stop that jargon, and just be cool.
I wont impose, if you don't want me close
but come clean, with your stories galore
Why cant you Brits be like rest of us! 
I promise to be a pal , if you act like a gal.

~ Dwaine ~ 

She Said :

My my! don't be stiff,
There's no need for a rift!
I'm sure everything will be fine.
I will tell you no lies,
just look in my eyes, 
I'm really quite humble and kind.
While a Brit I may be,
I've a mixed family tree,
With ancestry of which I am proud.
Though our ways are diverse,
My family was first,
to break ground on the fields
yours once plowed.

~ Glenda M Jones ~

He Said :

Neither of us are trying to prove
Who is better and who is best
This first meeting of ours 
Should it sound like a test ?
See, you are smiling
That is what I'd like to see
I hope the invitation for Sunday
Still stands for cakes and tea.

~ Krishna ~

She Said :

No Sir, it's a decision foregone
nor is there any need for tests
I must say one thing though
'cause it's the neighbourly thing to do
You Sir, need to check those eyes
for mistaking a haughty look
for a smile
as for cakes and tea
how COULD you ever doubt me..

~ Madeira Aftab ~

They Said 

she went to borrow a few spoons of tea
and it seems the simple task is history
the water in the kettle long evaporated
even the sizzling steam now dissipated
so the pastor off to church went he
on a belly so round yet empty
watch this space for more
if he ever gets tea, let us know

~ Vikram ~

The tea was borrowed, then brewed
But the pastor was out with his flock, playing cricket
So the tea was left to go cold, and stewed

~ Tango ~

She said....

Oh dear this tea will go waste,
All this fuss and nary a taste,
Into a thermos I’ll pour the brew,
Before it can stew and stew.
I cannot go back to our neighbour's house,
Creeping up silent, like a mouse,
To again ask for a few spoons of tea,
What on earth will they think of me?
Father will sip a cup gladly,
After his team has lost so badly,
And all will be well with tea and cake,
That on Sunday I will for them bake.

~ Sujata ~

He Said :

hello, sorry to bother you miss
when the tea you took the mistletoe was amiss
i was wondering before your dad got back
if you could come and i'll ruffle up a snack
no tea to sip or cakes to bake
nothing here but the heart on stake
as for the mistletoe on the door hanging
hurry, i can hear your father's footsteps banging

~ Vikram ~

She Said : 

Oh you are so naughty sir she said,
Now it’s mistletoe above my head,
If daddy finds out he’ll see red,
Then to the lions you will be fed,
I am no mean lass or country clod,
That over your heart I could plod,
But daddy’s shoes are with iron shod,
And your head, he will gleefully trod.

~ Sujata ~

He said :

the hungry lions do not in the least scare me
the spurs on your father's shoes won't tear me
i suggest you give him a sip of the aromatic tea
it has been laced with sleeping pills you see
so while he does snore and slumber
you and i could waltz, foxtrot, rhumba
(after all, it does take two to tango)
simple country lass or city bred
the heart in love is never in dread

~ Vikram ~

She Said :

Well u may not be scared of the lions or spurs 
but if my father catches us your death will be inferred 
now what if you potion, is well a dud 
then your life will then be nipped in the bud 
cause when my father comes down those stairs and sees us dancing 
yours will be the life you will be chancing 

~Cynthia L. Douglas~

He Said :

If you are willing I will take my chance
With you it will be heaven to dance
So come let us move to the beat
Why fair lady you are very light on your feet
So if your father happens to see us here
I will ask him, with me will you partake of a beer

~ Tango ~

She Said :

Please loose your hold you fresh young man!
This simply wasn't in my plan.
A cup of tea was all I sought...
but now, it seems I've trouble bought.
We've only met a while ago,
You simply HAVE  to take it slow!
Though debonair your style may be,
I simply came to ask for tea!
If your heart for me still longs,
Perhaps it due to wild hormones!
And when I've gone, within the hour,
consider, please... a nice cold shower!!

~Glenda M Jones~

He Said :

A cold shower has never quenched my fire
Neither am I scared of your dad's ire
So go home young lady, and bake your cake
And wait for me and my aunt, whom I shall take
To chat with your father
While I, your cakes and buns admire.

~KAYEM~

She Said :

I am now really sorry I asked for tea
I just wanted to be friendly to my neighbour
But this talk between us is getting nowhere
And I better quit before this gets more sour.

I will go and buy my tea in the shop
As all normal people do
I am not trying to be rude or short
But, let us say goodbye and I hope you will take the cue.
Adieu, adieu.

~ Krishna ~

He said :

This was a great chain

But the plot isn't making headway

So, let's start a fresh one

What do you folks say ?
