the highlight for them surely would not be the highlight for me!

I guess their tea time is like the add for Dr. Pepper in that it says drink one at 10, 2 and 4 for it is a pepper upper. Do you think they might be bored in their busy lives? Well, I am sure not all of them for some struggle just like the rest of us. Thanks for stopping by my page. I appreciate all the time spent there. Sara

Hi Gershon, I love the title to this poem, Nicely written ~ Debbie

Yes, even it isn't exactly original, still and all the title is 'sui generis,' (one of a kind), as the Romans say. Keep smiling, Debbie! :) gw

Hello Gershon ... I've often wondered what the purpose of royalty is these days. There must be a pretty good reason - ah, now I get it, to have the poor empty their chamber pots - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

That's the difference between the royals and the rest of the world, Lindsay: They pee in a pot; we're peas in a pod. lol. Cheers, Gershon

Yes, I believe that it's important even for the Royals to have a structure to their day: You know, 'Tea and Pee.' ~ Tee-Hee

This made me chuckle. My brain read the title as “pea” and when I got to the end I saw my mistake and it made it all the funnier. I read it a few times and chuckled anew :)
