Is Your Cuppa Looking For a Fight?
I sit myself by the tv,
Put my laptop on my knee, when the phone rings
So I answer it you see.
I forget about my tea, resting at the side of me
Til it flows towards my laptop
Full of glee.
But I think you ought to know
I moved quite quick and missed the flow,
Which must have had my laptop sighing with relief.
It's reallly not set up
To handle liquid from a cup.
Too much of that, and its life would be quite brief.
Don't do what I have done
A ruined laptop's not much fun
Eschew the armchair when you're sitting down to write.
Remove that cuppa by your arm
Don't be smitten by its charm,
You never know when it is looking for a fight.
