Hot Stuff

by Tina

I considered sparing you this last bit of romance, but then I thought, Hey, why not ?When you’re hot you’re hot. Well… the tea is always hot anyways.

Me: Would you like some tea?

Andrew:  Yes. My cup is over here.

Me: Oh, where’s the lid? 

Andrew:  I don’t know. It didn’t have one. That’s why you burnt me. 

Me: *Laughing*

It’s true. I did spill a bit on him. That’s not what was so funny! It was the way he said it. Well, now I know why the tea didn’t stay in the cup. This calls for a romantic apologetic poem. 

Earl Grey, Hot!

I’m sorry I burnt you

At least it wasn’t even first degree

I didn’t mean to scald you, love

Next time there’ll be a lid on your mug!
