Welcome to my poetry: Ode to the Staffroom 'Mug'!

 Here’s a little ditty which will probably ring a bell with anyone who works in an environment where numerous people share a staffroom! There’s always the ‘mug’, who ends up washing up everybody else’s!!

My ‘ode’ could be found on the staffroom wall at my place of work (before my retirement). It was situated above the sink! One can but try!! 

A right 'mug'!

Ode to the Staff Room ‘Mug’

I lurk in the bowl,

Neglected, forgotten,

All tea stained, with

Coffee dregs stuck to my bottom,

I long to be clean,

And put neatly away,

Ready for service

Later on in the day.

So, when you’ve consumed

The beverage in me,

I’d be grateful forever

If you’d wash me, and dry me!

Please be thoughtful with every

Mug, spoon and plate,

So that some other ‘mug’,

Doesn’t have to stay late!

Thanks for your time!
