The Last Tea by Higgins
Swiftly fled each honey d hour Spent with military male; Metropole became a bower Cecil an Arcadian vale. A rather mournful female clerical worker or secretary takes her last cup of tea of her wartime job. The implication is that she has enjoyed working with handsome military men (!) and the rhyme alludes to the number of London hotels that were requisitioned for military purposes during the Great War. Date: 1919
