Sipping a cup of tea

with Miss Milly

when the wind chill

Plummets

Heated my belly but

chilly goosebumps erupted

My soothing hot nectar

Bit back.

But I waylay

Today’s adventure

My embossed coffee mug

with the airtight lid.

Popped off

Splattering my left side

Man, that burned!

I drank it before a second assault.

Anyhow, I signed into E-bay today 

Not for replacements.

But to auction off

Two stubborn items

A bratty teacup

And a mean mug.

I was offered to pay $1 so far!
