That Cup of Tea.
There is no harm in a cup of tea ! Suppose we see. Just study up What’s in a cup—- \ ou’ll wiser be. There s falsohood in a cup of tea ! Alas for thee! That self same cup That cheereth up Deceiveth thee. There’s poison in a cup of tea ! Beware, prithee! For every cup Thou drinkest up Doth weaken thee. You can’t resist the cup of tea ! That cup so wee— That little cup That steameth up With breakfast tea ? You must lesist the cup of tea ! Come, stronger be! My dear, give up The siren cup That fooleth thee. —Mary Rossiter.
