Tea Poems

The Tea Cup
The rising sun, flickered through the bare
branches of the trees.
A few birds perched on the branches.
Free.
She sat there looking, pondering, wondering.
Her fingers, wrapped around the cinnamon
stick, stirring her tea.
She thought about her life, she yearned to
free, as she raised to her lips,
The cup of tea. - Anonymous Author

I cannot sit and chat with you,
the way I'd like to do.
So brew yourself a cup of tea,
I'll think of you, you think of me. - Anonymous Author

The Tea Party
I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small-
Three guest in all-
Just I, myself and me.

Myself ate all the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me. - Anonymous Author

The cozy fire is bright and gay,
The merry kettle boils away
and hums a cheerful song.
I sing the saucer and the cup;
Pray, Mary, fill the teapot up,
And do not make it strong. - Barry Pain

Steam rises from a cup of tea
and we are wrapped in history,
inhaling ancient times and lands,
comfort of ages in our hands. - Faith Greenbowl

Tea, although an Oriental
Is a gentleman at least;
Cocoa is a cad and coward,
Cocoa is a vulgar beast. - G.K. Chesterton, "The Song of Right and Wrong"

Tea that helps our head and heart.
Tea medicates most every part.
Tea rejuvenates the very old.
Tea warms the hands of those who're cold. - J. Jonker, Amsterdam, circa 1670

We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe. - Rudyard Kipling

I'm A Little Teapot
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
(hand on hip) (other arm out straight)
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
(Lean over and shape arm out like a spout of teapot) - Traditonal Nursery Rhyme

POLLY PUT THE KETTLE ON
Polly put the kettle on
Polly put the kettle on
Polly put the kettle on
We'll all have tea

Sukey take it off again
Sukey take it off again
Sukey take it off again
They've all gone away - Traditional Nursery Rhyme

Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa around,
And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn
Throws up a steamy column, and the cups
That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,
So let us welcome peaceful evening in. - William Cowper

If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated; it will cool you;
if you are depresses, it will cheer you;
if you are exhausted, it will calm you. - William Gladstone
