I’ve been recruited today,
I excitedly wait
For my first task on the job
To be entrusted
With my eagerness and charm
I shall do no harm
Like let coffee spill (The previous one did,
So he’s been done and dusted);
I’m more travel friendly
And less worse for wear –
Rest assured, I wear no
Monocles;
I have no handlebar
And no cracks for scars
Unlike the old man before me
Who liked to chronicle
I will humbly help you steal
The mess’ coffee and tea
To help with late-night bouts of
Exhaustion –
But unlike the porcelain before me
And the bone-china even before
I tend to burn your hand,
So please, caution.
