The Ritual

\nIf you don’t know by now then you bloody well ought-ter
\nFirst fill up the kettle with freshly drawn water
\nBefore it’s reached boiling, but pretty darned hot
\nYou pour out a little to warm up the pot
\nNow put in your tea-leaves please choose a good blend
\nFor me PG’s perfect, so try that my friend
\nEach mug needs a spoonful, the pot gets one too
\nThen add boiling water and leave it to brew
\nPlease put milk in first though some folk disagree
\nAnd like the cooked proteins to flavour their tea
\nI’ll add my own sugar there’s biscuits to dunk
\nAnd nothing needs doing till all of it’s drunk<\/p>\n
A short interlude will ensue until when
\nIt’s time to get cracking and brew up again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
