Oh The Tea

Oh the tea

That dread tea

Being in Hyacinth's presence makes me shake all the way down to my shoes

Hearing the cup full of tea rattle on the saucer

As I try to balance it on my hands while trying to put in on the table

Sometimes I succeed and other times I do not

Occasionally I drop my biscuit into my tea

Much to Hyacinth's dismay

Will I ever have the courage to tell her that she makes me nervous
