Tea Time
Waiting for the kettle to boil
Can harbour or predict many things
And gives me a chance to forget myself for a time
Singing ‘I believe in a love that’s true’
Knowing there will be another cup later
Or tomorrow
Custard creams I like to eat
They were my Grandfather’s treat
Are young girls still eating them at school?
They are certainly no fools regarding a biscuit
I still enjoy teatime today, hooray!
I’d certainly know if I’d missed it.
