Advice for a young tea turtle
Take no strong drink
only mock tales
stay schooled in what he
tortoise when the bone
chilling china cups rattle
hide in your shell
for this is a mad tea party
with the chime of a 6.9
time to stop drop and cover
temper it with your wit
and a t-tipple only for the
terrified
For Rachel,friend and Health and Safety Warden through all the 2016 quakes, who confessed she always thought a Teetotaller was a Tea Turtle
