Tea Time in Cheshire

Illustration by: Jessie Wilcox Smith 1914

There is no time
to monkey around
For in all of England
the best I have found
too, the best Jam
in all of Cheshire
and biscuits still warm
from Nanny's fire

Come now,
 Oh, Come now
and lets sit down
to England's fine tea
and Jam I have found
there is no time for
monkey's to be
prancing around
For it is Tea Time in Cheshire
with this fine tea
Nanny found.
