Easter bonnet...



Blushing Edwardian lady
sitting prettily in a pew
wearing her Easter bonnet

Young men admire her courting
turn their heads askew
outside they gather promenading

Whoosh of the accordion
clashes with an orchestra tune
ride a wagon in the sand, donkey drawn

Throw a ball to a dog cavorting
carry a picnic basket chock full
play croquet on the lawn maybe

Join the paddling boat party
the shore of France within view;
eating at a cafe' drinking tea and tonic
                                                         


Peppermint ice cream flavor of the day  
A sailor waves his hat in salute    
Her hat has pink roses on it                                    

Strolling an inland meadow
Taking a tin type photograph  
Watching a live puppet show -
All pastimes of an Edwardian holiday
