QUAFF OR SIP

QUAFF OR SIP In days of old one drank from a flagon Some were even embossed with a dragon Yet more recently, mugs then emerged And demand for matching items surged Whether in tin, porcelain, or plain china Some potteries’ items could not be finer Later, tea drinkers in the Victorian era Affected, bought cups that were dearer Like doll house items, cups got quite small And they offered hardly a mouthful at all We know small teacups are not the same So perhaps a cuplet is a far better name
