Writing Workshop Challenge   He'll have her...

In response to the Musecrafters Writing Workshop Challenge. An interpretation of the painting below:

The Dining Room

To have our tea,  to have our tea
and wonder for a day.
He to dream of her so fine
while I stay out of  the way.

He'll have her, he'll have me.
She'll never know my shame.
They'll have a love affair sublime
Perhaps I am to blame.

I'll have my tea, I'll have my tea.
Never to be seem observant.
I'll not see when their eyes meet.
That dirty filthy servant.
