Radiant and flowery
Ruthless, in the middle of the day
When the thief crowns the crown above his head
The beasts that have been lurking in the cave caves start to move out
The sky and the earth are reversed
Fish are swimming in the air
The birds are dancing in the sea
Slaves flogging their masters
A bright, wild wind plays
To the applause like a harp makes
The false king shudder in fear
Put the Darjeeling tea leaves in a teapot
I'll give you two minutes
Two minutes until the sound of the trumpets of the seven angels are heard
Tea leaves dance free like the skylarks in a teapot
It's all about temperature and time
Two sets of my favorite teacups
Pre-warm it up
I'll pour the bloody rubies into them
One cup of tea is for me
One more cup for you
I'll even get you some slightly bitter cookies
Will you come to our tea party?

Great imaginative write, but the Darjeeling surely should be given more that two minutes. Anyway someone was on something much stronger than that.... 🙂
definitely a fun read, thanks for the smiles
a fitting tribute
