Tea for Mr. Jenkins

    Advice, criticism and feedback greatly appreciated:
    “Tea at three Mr. Jenkins”
    Came the voice
    “Tea at three Mr. Jenkins”
    the echo replied
    Hitting the walls of the large corridor
    Like a blind fly busily scrambling for the sanctuary of the glow
    Mr. Jenkins thought of the women
    round and old and grey and weak
    Not of constitution but a certain weakness was assumed in a person
    Whose mouth like nestling gaped for another’s hand
    And what had she achieved?
    but toil for recompense, a cottage with nursery and a sap etched compact
    On Friday she would leave in groping felicity,
    Hand in hand with her helpmate of thirty years
    To fill her weekend with walks and talks
    And cooking him his favourite dish and blasted tenderness
    But he didn’t care, for the Egyptian cotton of his bathrobe was soft against his skin,
    And he knew it would always be there.
