Hot Tea Is My Company

sit a spell

By Rowan Finley Published 6 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

Hello,

I am so glad you came to visit my bone dry cup this evening. I was growing incredibly lonely. Your reassuring presence has refreshed and enlivened me as always. Now, let's talk. How have you been? I was starting to get worried about you because I hadn't seen you in awhile. Do you have any steamy gossip to tease my nostrils? Oh, don't be shy now...do tell. Your stories are always interesting and I'm sure you'll appreciate what I have to say. I should have been a shrink with my talent of always giving timely advice to everyone I know. All the birds agree. I am quite sure of it. Either they agree, or they're making fun of me with their incessant chatter...one or the other. Take a rest on the arm of the chair and please talk to me before you have to go away again!

    Smiling on this! This is absolutely charming! A lonely tea cup craving conversation—how very refined and dramatic! I can just imagine it pouting if the gossip isn’t steamy enough.😊
