Story Time With Peggy Halliday Young - Mrs. Peter Perkins' Private Political Party (Book 3)
Mrs. Peter Perkins hurries hastily home
after fine food shopping on fair Friday.
She is giving a pretty polite private
political party and must clean her lovely
lacquered living room. She puts the fine
food into the kitchen's custom-made cupboards,
checks her handsome homemade purple pies,
crunchy sweet-crack cookies, courageous cakes
and bologna bakes, plumcot pickles and funny
fandangles that she will serve to her pretty
polite private political party's gracious guests.
She grasps the handle of her brush-broome
with the millford motor and marches merrily
into the lovely lacquered living room. Dagmar Dog is
lazily lounging on the carpet and woefully watches
Mrs. Peter Perkins perkily plug the brush-broome
with the millford motor into the electric energy
outlet. Cosmo, the cat crouches cautiously
on the craftmade chair with the billowy pillows.
She half shuts her eyes precariously pretending
nothing is about to happen in the lovely lacquered
living room. The sudden shocking sound of the
brush-broome's millford motor is all Cosmo, the Cat
and Dagmar Dog can stand and rising to their feet
rush from the lovely lacquered living room----SCOOT!
Hungry Harry Perkins hurries home from school. Mrs.
Peter Perkins switches off her brush-broome with the
millford motor and dashingly dances out to the
kitchen. "Do not eat any purple pie, crunchy
sweet-crack cookies, courageous cakes or bologna
bakes, plumcot pickles or funny fandangles," she
cautions. "I want to serve these things at the
pretty polite private political party tonight."
Then she returns to her lovely lacquered
living room. Slow Sam, the hired man, wanders wearily
in from working. Mrs. Peter Perkins switches off her
brush-broome with the millford motor and
dashingly dances out to the kitchen once more.
"Do not eat any purple pie, crunchy sweet-crack
cookies, courageous cakes or bologna bakes, plumcot
pickles or funny fandangles," she cautions. "I want
to serve these at the pretty polite private
political party tonight."
Slow Sam, Hungry Harry and Mr. Peter Perkins
look longingly at all the glorious goodies gathered
together on the kitchen's custom-made shelves.
"All right," sighs Mrs. Peter Perkins, "You may each
have one serving."
And she slowly sits down on a kitchen stool warily
watching as each human being gleefully picks out and
gobbles up his parceled-out portion.
Actually, no one showed up at the pretty polite
private political party because everyone who was
invited went to a public PTA meeting at the simply
elegant society school. This made Mr. Peter Perkins,
Slow Sam and Hungry Harry very happy because they
got to eat up all the handsome homemade purple pies,
crunchy sweet-crack cookies, courageous cakes and
bologna bakes, plumcot pickles and funny fandangles
and begged Mrs. Peter Perkins to give another party
real soon.
