Kettle
One day I bought a kettle,
to make a cup of tea.
This really put me on my mettle,
I did not know how to you see.
I carefully read the instructions,
fill the kettle three quarters full.
This nearly led to my destruction,
for I fell over the kitchen stool.
When the water boils,
pour it into the pot.
Keep a steady hand,
for the water is very hot.
I now have a full teapot,
also a couple of spoons of tea.
This really puts me on the spot,
for I only drink beer you see.
