Tea For The Little People Kitty, December 1, 2019August 16, 2022 0 0 Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second This is in the December 1949 magazine “American Childhood”. The magazine is subtitled “The Modern Magazine for the Primary Teacher.” Published by Milton Bradley, this magazine was for teachers, and had articles about children in the classroom, and how to treat a primary school student. Here’s a cute little poem that I thought was good for our first day. Tea for the Little PeopleSheila Stinson Last night when all was dark and stillThe wee folks came far down the hill; With many a quick glance all aroundDeciding they mustn’t make a sound. The folks within the big house slept,And so the little people creptAcross the lawn where tall oak treesRattled their bare limbs in the breeze. Then quickly and with impish gleeThey gathered acorns, hurriedly,And filled their pockets with delight,Then ran off swiftly in the night. You see, their need was really great,Their dishes had grown scarce of late,And so, the wisest one of allHad said, “Let’s hunt an oak tree tall,” There we shall find an acorn cupFor each of us, with which to sup;From underneath that big oak tree,We’ll all get cups to drink our tea. So back they ran beyond the hillTo wait for Jack Frost, cold and chill,To blow his breath, knowing that heWas powerless when they had hot tea.
