A Cup of Tea
I took time for tea,
To sit at a desk, and look at a book,
Just a moment I need, some time for me,
To gaze out the window, and lay in the nook.
The clock ticks steady, the lights are all dim,
I sip clear the honey, all over the rim.
The streets are a-bustle,
But I shall not hustle; I shall sit ‘n snuggle.
Inside my brick building, the ivy in trellis,
A moment of quiet, I took time for tea.
