The Great Tea of 1914-18
So tea was taken in the heart of France the
Dying rays of the summer sun
Drimted on fresh sliced cucumber
Sandwhiches and caught the rought
Textured richness of the
Garibori biscuit's the sound of
Crackling brandy snaps filled
The still air the soldiers chattled
Over their Swiss roll and
Spread thick butter upon their
Scones squatties passed the
Milk to and Colonel offered apricot
Jam to their batman
Generals and runners sat down to
Crumpet together the Great
Tea of 1914-1918 had begun
