Tea, cake and soul-sticking glue are at the heart of this little tea-inspired love poem.
This sweet and meaningful rhyme was written by The Original Poet, typed on a lovely vintage typewriter and hand-foiled in silver or gold. If you look closely you'll see all the tiny 'pops and crackles' in the type which gives it a real charm.
Think birthdays, valentines, anniversaries or just because someone's your cup of tea!
This poem is also available as a black and white print

Poem Wording
you are to me, as lovely as tea,
from a pot that is hot,
served with cake.
and I hope to you,
I'm as sticky as glue,
to the holes in your soul,
left to gape.
