Though the clocks have been put back one hour
I hope it will not affect adversely our
custom whereby we British pour
ourselves a cup of tea around four
on each weekday afternoon
often in the drawing room
although this demonstration of English taste
seems to have been rather displaced
such beverage would not be complete
without a tray of dainties to eat
and if you decided you would risk it
you could choose to dunk a biscuit
How deliciously homely, mmmh.

I’m not at all sure we British still sit in drawing rooms & parlours and take high tea at four. But we sure as hell do dunk our biscuits (unlike our American kinsfolk who prefer to dunk donuts)
