A Little Conversation and a Cup of Tea

A little conversation and a cup of tea A cube of sugar with cream to please Speak of the weather, gossip causally A little joke more silly than funny Talk of a book both forgot to read More conversation and another cup of tea He married her how could that be The dog had another litter of puppies Share a secret which is extra juicy More conversation without the tea Laughing to tears getting lively Say something it's not believed Suddenly it seems all was to deceive Time for everyone to get up and leave No more conversation and a cup empty.
