Cuppa Tea Anyone

The billy boils on an open flame
Or an electric kettle boils in a modern game
A sprinkle of tea and around the world twirl
Smokos on is the welcome yell

We learnt this from the British ones
A group of Aussies the smile is won
It could be a morning break or sundown meal
It all has for us a refreshing deal

How many plans are made in this way
And friendships enjoyed and laughter play
Tea boiled is the pleasure
Sit smile talk and drink the measure.
