A Pot of Tea

A teapot is a kitchen necessity.

            It’s my alarm clock in the morning

            screaming for me to get up

• Wake up!

Without it, I would always be late

            A teapot is a kitten necessity

            It can be as spotted as a Dalmatian

            never knowing what is a design

• or dirt.

But don’t wash it, that’s what makes it genuine

A teapot is a kitchen necessity

It is a warm blanket at midnight

on a cold, helpless night

• stormy night

to keep your heart warm and safe.
