Welcome to the "Caffeine Appreciation Society" Jen

And just for Paul, a little refresher course on his favorite jig:

"I'm a Little Teapot" is a nursery rhyme describing the boiling and pouring of a teapot.

The recitation of this rhyme is generally accompanied by physical actions that involve imitating a teapot (actions described in brackets below).

The rhyme with a rhythm:

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle (place one hand on corresponding hip to imitate handle), here is my spout (position other hand in air to imitate spout).
When I get all steamed up hear me shout. (alternately, "then I shout")
Tip me over and pour me out (lean to the right to imitate pouring tea from the spout).
The third line often varies: one line used is "When I spy a teacup, then I scream".

Though uncommon, an optional second verse exists:

I'm a clever teapot, yes it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can change my handle to my spout (switch hand positions and repeat tipping motion).
Just tip me over and pour me out.
Another version, common in the United Kingdom, with a 9-7-9-7 rhythm:

I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
Here's my handle, here's my spout,
When I hear the tea-cups, hear me shout, (or when I give a whistle)
"Tip me up and pour me out".
Another version, though apparently uncommon, rather short - but charming - goes as follows:

I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
One, two, three - d'you want a cup of tea!

I'm just looking at the original picture and thinking we have a problem with the 'short and stout' interpretation. Could you try it in the kneeling postition next time?
