I found where they keep the cornflakes
(in a cupboard)

And the milk
(in the fridge)

And the bowls
(in another cupboard)

And the teabags
(easy, a box of them on the work surface)

I couldn’t find the sugar
(it wasn’t in the tin marked sugar
that was full of 1 and 2 pence coins)

I did find a mug that said
Keep Calm Drink Tea

(so I soon discovered the bin
and calmly dropped that mug in)

I’m drinking mine
(milk, no sugar!)
from one that says Well Done

By the time they return
I’ll be gone


Get Gone
