Ministry Of Crap Design #1

Shiny teapot, short and stout
Water in, tea comes out
In a single, steady flow?
Not this fella don't you know
Silver coloured, you've seen the one
Surface hotter than the sun
And when time comes for tea to pour
You'll not get what you bargained for
With asbestos fingers, lift him up
And eventually you'll fill your cup
For tea will not go with the flow
Over the table it will go
Probably get some in your food
This will not brighten your mood
Tea for one? Make it tea for two
At least you might just get a brew
Just another classic find
From the Ministry of Crap Design

I love the way you wrap me up. I love the warmth you give me. I love the way you release when I get to hot. I love the way you comfort me when I'm ill. I love you because you're always there.

No Place To Hide

Just a bit of fun inspired by@PoppyA Offside Rules. Football crazy. Football mad. Footy on the telly. Footy on the pad. Footy in the paper. Footy in the pub. Footy on the radio. Footy in the tub.

Odd Little Poem 

You make me feel like everything will be okay. That you are here for me whatever time of the day. The feeling is mutual. My fun loving friend. Even if you do drive me round the bend.
