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
