.4. Two Cuppas Poem by David Threadgold

Do you like a cup of tea?
A nice refreshing brew
I find that one is not enough
And often I need two

When I hear the kettle call
One click the waters boiling
At once I pour it on the leaves
Before the brew be spoiling

I take it to the table
Without a single splash
To rest beneath its cosy
And leave it there to mash

The larder holds my biscuits
A simple little snack
They soak up my first cup of tea
And now I’m going back
