The poem reads:
The Tea Lover’s Week
On Mondays it just has to be
A robust cup of English tea
On Tuesdays to begin the day
It’s Assam or a fine Earl Grey
Wednesdays if I get frustrated
It has to be decaffeinated,
On Thursdays it is most appealing
To brew a teapot of Darjeeling
On Fridays there is nothing finer
Than Chamomile in vintage China
Saturdays I’m rather keen
On a herbal, peppermint or green
And Sundays all that works for me
Is biscuit dunked in Builder’s Tea!

The Book Lover’s Week

At my lively book group meeting
Wednesday, there may be some friction
Unless I read some Science Fiction
Thursdays, it just has to be
Short stories or biography
On Friday over lunch and dinner
I’m buried in a Booker winner
Saturdays are perfect days
For reading poetry and plays
And Sundays, how the hours dwindle
When I’m busy on my Kindle!

On Fruitcake or Banana Bread

For a nice Victoria Sandwich
And Sundays? Well it has to be
Homemade scones for afternoon tea!

I’ll grab a fortifying Latte,
Saturdays just don’t feel right
Without a paper and Flat White,
And Sundays end with Frappuccino
Or a bedtime Cappuccino!

And the watering and feeding
Saturdays, day of adventure:
A trip to tip or garden centre
And Sundays (if the back’s not aching)
It’s getting rid of slugs and staking!

A hankering for ice cold Cava
And suddenly the week has gone...
It's Sunday night and Sauvignon!
