Tea cups

It feels different sipping from a teacup instead of a mug
Just the word in itself is delicate
Listen to the sound ~ teacup/MUG

Mid-afternoon tea, Mademoiselle?
Spot on Monsieur, I may as well
And a crumpet today, for you?
A rose petal laced with morning dew
Or –
Thorny bushes that stick and prick
Hey Thug
Wanna MUG?
Shrug…
Yea, give it too me -
Black as mud!
See?
Can you hear the distinction?
Sipping versus slurping
Burping versus napkin dabbing
Life versus extinction
Listening versus crabbing
Would you care for a cup of tea
Mademoiselle?
