Tea Time Rhapsody

<Originally written on February 19, 2007> 

An open-bistro in Boat Basin's stench,
where a green tacky dangling diner set, 
sits six friends off and around a square bench.
Cheap china spread upon a matted net.                                      
Ambiance such; a piper spends his time
blowing a tune, amidst a bustling knot. 
Waiter quests to collect much needy dime,
fulfilling the order: 'six teas brought hot'                          

Friends take each others' in sheer amusement                              
Each work to fabricate, a niggling tweak,
None wins, nor can escape from this torment 
Finally all hush, to get one to speak

Lifting his cup to the awaiting plea
He smirks "Um this is not my cup of tea"
