Ted the Tea Tray

Ted the Tea Tray

Doris was a kindly soul

with a penchant for needlepoint

and two spoons of sugar in her tea.

"What does it matter, at my age?" she would mutter to the dog,

still with her in spirit, at least.

Ted carried the weight of this, and more,

silent, but always listening, a little dried milk crusting his edges.

"Those who talk least, often have the most to say", he thought.

And so, Doris stirred his poems into being.

​

Okay, so poor Ted Hughes would be turning in his grave, but this is the perfect unique gift for the real poet in your life!
