Cuppa Char

Cuppa Char

Who would think that Chimpanzees

Would help to change my mind

From drinking all that other stuff

From beans you had to grind

That first mug in the morning

Oh how heavenly.

Hits the spot and wakes me up

Like nectar to a Bee.

I’ve even bought a teapot

Just like my dear ol’ mums

No china cup and saucer- just

My Crystal Palace Mug

My Nan, she used to make a brew

It wasn’t fit to drink

I’d wait until she'd nodded off

Then pour it down the sink

Brook Bond, Typhoo, PG Tips

All the same to me

Then in the summer from the fridge

With ice, it’s Lemon Tea.

So many now to choose from

Delivered to your door

Those bloody chimps that started this

Don’t drink it any more
