Morning Tea

Revolting wake to a screeching hark,

Snapping brain to a jerking start

Guilty promise of a late-night lark

Rebelling mutiny of every body part!

Tempting call of the bed most alluring

Tasting mint with the ritual brushing

Nervous tingle of a splash refreshing

Forcing a fight to a denied sleeping.

First pangs of a fasting belly

Set on chasing time really

Hurtling towards the sweet jelly

All that's needed is the cup only.

Warming the cockles of my heart so deep

Ripping gently apart my brain from sleep

Setting me ready for promises to keep

Rigging me right for the ascent so steep.

Sun is magical for all green tree

So is nectar for the working bee

Tell me, without you, where would I be?

Oh dear, Blessed be the morning tea!
