How to Make a Cup of Tea






How to Make a Cup of Tea


When I lived in
England
people
drank tea
not
coffee

It's an art
and starts
with kettle
"put on"

Teapot warmed
tea leaves inside
then boiling water
 poured over
leaves
liquefied

Now tea must
brew
this takes
a few
minutes
Five minutes
tops

Tea cups
are next
they must be 
warm too
pour tea in
warm cups
this makes
a good 
brew

We're almost
ready
but first
you must have
all sorts
of tea cakes
batten burgs
crumpets
scones
strawberry 
jam


Don't forget
the cream
double
is best
now pour
the tea
at your
tea party
and you
just 
rest.
