Poetry And Tea Poem by Raghurama Raju

The man wakes up and
Finds his woman still in bed
He wants poetry
He also wants tea
Milk and tea begin to boil
One on each burner
He enters his room to read some poetry
Milk boils and then overflows
To reach the interiors of the stove
Tea boils and boils until it sticks to the bottom
Burning smell fills the entire house
The woman wakes up with nostrils flaring
Curtains part noisily
A violent drama begins soon
The man realises at last
Reading poetry and preparing tea
Make a bad combination!
