TEA FOR YOU, TOO
Une Sonnette En Pentametre Iambique
By Izzy
Ess Of Inverness
Today, on Hudson’s Bay, a ship with all
The tea in China sank and turned the
bay
Into one great big cup of tea. Pierre
Did add the sugar and the whales just
lapped
It up with krill and plankton from the
bed.
The clams enjoyed it and the sturgeons
had
It with some crumpets, eh? The notion was
A world-wide buzz and soon, some tea
was dumped
In Chesapeake and Bay of Pigs with
verve
And nerve. The concept could have harked back to
The start of USA’s revolt when tea
Was dumped in Boston’s Harbour by the
boys
From US colonies disguised to look
Like aboriginals who wrote the book.
THE END
