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
