When daily life with ups and downs
Grants less in smiles and more in frowns
Come and sit a while with me
Enjoy a rest and cup of tea
Soothing herbal steaming brew
Let that tea bag steep and stew
Add some cream or scoop of sweet
Ease those shoes off tired feet
Little sandwich or some cake
Mind not how much time you take
Chit and chat while tea you sup
From treasured gilded plate and cup
For there is little pleasure born
From working straight at waking’s morn
Gives you time to lounge and sprawl
And break from burdens large and small
No matter if in pinch or plight
A cuppa makes the world all right
