To Tea or Not to Tea
Two Ants climbed into the cup.
Who is going to sip first? That's a prenup
A cup filled tea in a cup leftover
Mosquitoes are eyeing, staying hover.
Sipped by a human, the taste didn't match
Let's not swim in, start from the patch
the tea must be short of its gingerly nature,
or the flavours felt short, lost their stature.
The milk must have tasted like its gone sour
This chilly morning, this beverage was the need of the hour.
Humans are strange. Sip with a straw.
Did an eagle use forks instead of its claws?
Beside the empty cup laid an empty one
Par-Tea in filled cup, that was the intended pun.
