Notes About The Poem

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." - C.S. Lewis

"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves—slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on." - Billy Connolly


A Sam Scott poem:
May the 4th be with you 2025

Listen to poem:

Biscuit Friends

Biscuits like friends
I'd like to portray
Are best rediscovered
On the rainiest day

The kettle it steams
The teabag is dry
The sofa side table
Is catching your eye

Biscuits like friends
Can combine and renew
To chat or be still
With some fireside brew

Should I dunk and indulge
Maybe snap, slurp or crunch
God, for moments like these
I just thank you a bunch
