Lavender Tea
What a success!
To relax from past weeks' stress,

"What about that sullen face? Ricky wanted to know,
Lost a bet in a horse race?"

The hot drink was poured into a cup.
"You're a smug rat,
If stealing's all, you're good at, Ricky,

He grabbed the cup in Ricky's hands and drank.
"Thanks!"
Then he was out of the tent,
Fingers still tight around the porcelain as he went.
