The Lonely Teabag

By HAB May 7, 2016

The Lonely Teabag

One solitary teabag, not enough for two to share

Just one for the teapot, the caddy being quite bare,

No drawing of the water, no mashing of the pot

No teabag for each person… whilst shopping I forgot,

There are saucers on the table, but no tea cup at the lips

For the corner shop’s not open, to buy more PG Tips,

It’s tea-less in the cupboard, no tasty leaf to brew

So I will have a coffee, and make tea… just for you…
