Why Not To Bomb the Brits If It Interferes With Their Tea

Of Tetley's and V-2's
(or, “Why Not to Bomb the Brits if it Interferes with their Tea”)
by Michael R. Burch

The English are very hospitable,
but tea-less, alas, they grow pitiable ...
or pitiless, rather,
and quite in a lather!
O bother, they're more than formidable!
