two cup of tea

do you like a cup of tea?
a nice refreshing brew
I find that one is not enough
and often I need two.

when I hear the kettle call
one click the waters boiling,
at once I pour it on the leaves
before the brew be spoiling,

I take it to the table
without a single splash,
to rest beneath its cosy
and leave it there to mash.

the larder holds my biscuits
a simple little snack,
they soak up my first cup of tea
and now I am going back.
