I wrote this following a writing workshop in Stockport. It was prompted when we were asked at break time if we would like a cup of tea.

 

 

 

Muriel and Me

 

A cuppa tea?

- For Muriel and me?

- Make it G&T…

And if it’s no trouble,

Please make it a double….

 

 

 

These writing classes are superb:

We learn about the written word –

Half-time, we have a cup of tea –

But as for Muriel and me…..

 

We think how nice

A G&T

Would be………

 

 

 

 

But, lest we both end up all squiffy

And finish sounding just like Piffy

On a rock cake, tea will be

The best option for M and me…..

 

 

(with apologies to Muriel…………..)
