TEA TIME



TEA TIME

I sat
Supping
Tea
With a
Biscuit
In my 
Hand...

It was
Creamy
And 
Crispy.

It Begged
Me,
To not
Eat it!

Oh please 
Let me
Be 
It said
So quietly,
I thought 
I was 
Dreaming
It...

I sipped
My rather
Hot tea
Thinking
How much
That biscuit
I wanted
To eat...

A lot
Of biscuits 
In my 
Time I 
Have had
But
None that
Talked like
The one
In my
Hand!

Another
Sip Of tea
And at 
The biscuit
I glanced .

I was 
Torn
On whether 
To put 
It down
Or
Pop it
Into
My mouth!

The biscuit
Decided
For me...
Oh thank you
It said 
May I now
Join
You for tea?

That was it.
I plopped
It in my
Cup
And put it
In my 
Mouth.

Soggy creamy
Sweetness
Struggled between
My teeth
As I happily
Bit!

And so
My tea
Was
Complete
Deliciously
Without
Guilt!
