Keep Calm and Have a Cuppa

In 1942 when the Germans and Japanese Were rampant across the world during WW II The British needed to raise the moral Of their troops who were under pressure in the field So the government bought up All the tea available on the planet So their troops were supplied with tea Making a brew up became important to them They cooked it in the desert on a Bengazi burner Or on ships in the Atlantic and Pacific On battlefields across Asia and Europe British soldiers brewed up And their morale was improved So the humble cuppa helped win the war. © Paul Warren Poetry
