A Cup of Tea… or Ts? (A Poem)

By Joyce Jacobo

[Author’s Note: A very experimental piece regarding wordplay.]

May I offer you a cup of tea–

  a cup of tea from me and you?

Or should the arrangement be

   a cup of Ts from I to U?      

Semantics can get confusing

   when symbols like letters

   can represent ideas

So let me just stop short

      at a cup of tea . . .

          . . . or is it a cup of Ts?

                    

Oh, dear me!
