I put this in my gaiwan today
A rather busy
No time for tea kind of day
And I drank it
Heedlessly
Perhaps cruelly
(especially as it was a gift)
But at the end of the day
I looked back on the tea I had drank
And I smiled

My friends called Wocket
He has tea in his pocket

Hmmm… Why does this remind me of a famous poem?

Wocket

I’m not sure, but if you figure it out let me know! It does me too, so I’m sure my subconscious is cribbing from somewhere, but I know not the source.

I thought it might be Neil Gaiman*, but I couldn’t find any similar verse he’d written. Of course, I loaned his latest to a friend, so I didn’t have it to reference.

- Not really known for his poems, but I’m a fan.

I almost certainly don’t know very much about all that I don’t know about tea.

But I’m trying!
