A Pot of Tea (Richard Kenney)

Wee! One more drink poem. Yesterday was coffee, today tea. "A Pot of Tea" by Richard Kenney.

It IS about tea, but it's also about sharks and about thoughts/connections. However, as I read I keep being distracted by the inexpert rhyming. It often clangs and is noticeable when it should be quite the opposite.

I love tea and was pretty happy to find this tea poem, but ugh I kind of hate this one. It's boring, but trying to be special. The rhyme is dull (and clangs!); the shark connection is bizarre; the idea being developed is not interesting. I truly dislike this poem.

Favorite line: "And the future's in Darjeeling --"
