A lovely shape in best bone china
this pretty pattern could not be finer,
flowers in every colour and shape
a pot of loose leaf tea to make,
a dainty spoon to stir in
a heart shaped sugar lump from the tin,
a cosy cover to keep it warm
a cup on every waking morn,
toast with jam or biscuits to eat
a little white napkin to keep you neat,
boil the kettle to top up the pot
it’s best taken whilst it’s hot.
