A Cup Of Tea

 
 
The grit and flesh of it
probably
lived in the family attic  
for years
before  
the time grandma
pulled her false teeth out
Put the kettle to boil
and started reminiscing
family stories of yesteryear
 
I took home
a marmalade sandwich,
a little extra love,
and the knowledge  
this generation behaves better
than our forefathers did
 
I'm sure as heck
men have been sissified  
to the point of  
being jellyfish
in daily standards.
 
As grandma would say
"You need an erection, to use a penis"
