The return of the teabag

A teabag used to be just that

A perforated paper bag

That let flavour flood out. 

Then it became a technological masterpiece 

A heavily nuanced plastic hybrid 

Striving for brewing excellence. 

But then middle classed English gardeners

Started finding them in their compost 

Couldn’t break them down

Unless with the pitchfork.

Of course there was uproar 

A teabag sits high next to a pint

On the table of life’s little treats. 

The TV people did an expose on it

And all the main tea people 

Scrambled to put the teabag right

And that’s when it returned to being

A perforated paper bag.

I'm not sure we're middle class gardeners, but we did get told not ot put all those teabags into the compost because of the irritation of finding them in the garden after the compost was added! Rhiannon

I'm not a gardener, so you made me smile.  Thank you.
