MORNING CUPPA TEA 

Eergh! The alarm clock rang!
Shouting me awake;
shocking me from slumber
For heaven’s sake!
I hurl it flying across the bedroom floor
The clock hits the door.
There’s a clang and a clatter!
Something in its works go Twang!
Oh dear! what’s the matter?
I’ve inflicted some harm— 
No cause for alarm 
(notice the pun here?)

I prise my eyes open hoping to see
He might’ve brewed some coffee
(or tea) 
for me
But, 
he’s still snoring.
Humph, ‘tis not a problem,  
I do not need him,
in his state of recumbent stasis
At this unearthly hour
I can use telekinesis
At the height of my power
(Believe it or not)
I can move a teapot
with my psychokinetic mind
lift it up
and pour tea into a cup
so gentle, polite and refined

NOTES

Telekinesis: How to move objects with your mind

1. Start small when you are training to move objects with your mind. A matchstick, for example. 

2. Clear your mind of all except the focus on your object. 

3. Concentrate on how you want to move it. 

4. Exclude every thought other than your purpose. Any doubt will destroy your endeavour. 

5. Control your mind each day for ten minutes. The success of your total concentration can take weeks or months to achieve the desired result.
