QUAFF OR SIP

QUAFF OR SIP

In days of old one drank from a flagon
Some were even embossed with a dragon

Yet more recently, mugs then emerged
And demand for matching items surged

Whether in tin, porcelain, or plain china
Some potteries’ items could not be finer

Later, tea drinkers in the Victorian era
Affected, bought cups that were dearer

Like doll house items, cups got quite small
And they offered hardly a mouthful at all

We know small teacups are not the same
So perhaps a cuplet is a far better name
