Tea is for Trouble

Mostly a coffee drinker
I look forward to some infrequent tea time
My last such occasion
Is the reason for this rhyme

CA-FAINT

Trrrrring, bleary eyed, I dragged myself awake
And towards the kitchen a few steps I did take
Only to realise we were all out of instant for my cup
I’d have to walk across to the corner coffee shop

Picked up a newspaper and stood in line
Waiting impatiently for my turn in time
Scanned the board for the menu
And help me God, it was deja vu
