something stronger
tea
as
or something stronger
through stronger
is
what the refreshment
means
in that we sit
like rest
and how are you
today
and I hope
well
though if not then
not
and I’d like to meet you
anyway
of course
and if we could have tea
in a room by
Beatrice
or
by Bilbo
I’d so much like to hear
your story
up to now and then
a little
speculation toward
the future
yours
and with a taste of the last
lukewarm sip
might stand
a guess
toward
the future of us both
and by extension
all
though it’s our time
as is this
time
with minutes only for
each other
and
I shall hear you better than
the rest that is
the ministry
of tea or something like
and
listening
for which there’s nothing
like

Pooh and Paddington Meet at Victoria Station
I thought this was a place as good as any
We could have picked, ah, you know, Paddington
You have a station named for you?
No, you see, it’s where I was found
Oh, yes, I was once found—then I got lost again
Oh, I’m sorry
Yes, well, I was on my way to Paddington to meet a friend
To Paddington?
Or was it on the way to Friend to meet a Paddington?
Yes, well, shall we have tea?
Would you like to share some tea and honey?
Oh, yes, very much
Good, I’ll take the honey, thank you
