The Lonely Teabag...

One solitary teabag
not enough for two to share
just one for the teapot
the caddy being quite bare.

No drawing of the water
no mashing of the pot
no teabag for each person
whilst shopping, I forgot.

With two saucers on the table
but no teacup at the lips
for the corner store's not open
to buy more *PG Tips.

It's tea-less in the cupboard
no tasty leaf to brew
so I will have a coffee
and make tea, just for you.
