I recently came across this poem that I wrote when I had my storefront in Cookstown. Enjoy!
Ode to the Teacup & Saucer
There is nothing quite like
The experience of
Consuming the most divine
Substance here on Earth
But how we drink it
Is what qualifies it
And gives it such a title
The teacup and saucer
There is nothing quite like it
When seeking satisfaction
There is no way around it
Try a mug, a bowl, a glass
I challenge you to find
A better way to brighten your mood
Its elegance and grace
The beauty of its shape and colours
Can give stature to even
The grubbiest of men
The aroma is incomparable
The flavour unmistakable
When sipped from it
The teacup and saucer
Commands your respect
It demands an experience
Unlike any other
If only to take a moment
It allows one to reflect
And bathe in its splendour
So without further adieu
Ladies and Gentlemen
I give you
The teacup and saucer
