A Couple of Poems

These are just a couple that I've had in the notes section on my phone for a while. One is about 2 business men (salary men in Japan) dropping their coins everywhere in the supermarket (again and again and again!) and the other's about feeling a bit down one night, a long time ago, and the power of tea to cheer you up!

All Over the Place


Two salary men,
With bright red faces,
Dropping coins
All over places.
Thinking the checkout
Might be a bar - 
I think they've already 
Been for a jar.


The SS Cuppaty

Night has fallen
and all at sea,
with broken sails,
I'll make some tea.


An additional note - when Asian people have been drinking, they sometimes get red faces and 'jar' is British slang for a pint of beer (although it's not massively common to hear it said).
