Eight-line Poems 2

Tearoom

Tearoom

Certainly ma’am - coming right up -
whatever you want will be in your cup;
the chef is a master of magical arts,
ever he knows the desire of your heart.

And if you require a mystical brew,
he’ll add just the thing to satisfy you;
but remember the price, that is what’s real,
plain truth being always part of the deal.
