Pretentious Nursery Rhyme of the Day #2
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me up and pour me out!
.
.
.
I am a vessel specifically designed
For the calefaction of tea leaves and water combined.
I am of diminutive dimension:
A corpulent invention.
Observe the place where your hand is supposed to go.
Observe the outlet where the drink is supposed to flow.
When my temperature is high,
Ebullition will make me cry:
You must use my leverage
To release the beverage.
