Empty the cup and its saucer
and drain the pot of its brew
Afternoon tea isn’t sacred
just pause when the day isn’t through
Make it as strong as you fancy.
I won’t mind a bit if you do.
I’ll take this cup and another,
the hot buttered toast you’ve got, too.

Yes, I went looking for 8-line poetic forms (the rules of the Yahtzee game give you a 10 point bonus if all your fills have the same number of lines and I've already filled the middle category so I was going for the shorter one) and stumbled across The Yeats. I'm not certain it's a Real Form (but then the xenolith, too, is something someone just made up and I like it a lot) but I thought I'd give it a go for the sake of 8 lines. I didn't get the feminine endings and I sort of squidged the 3 accents only per line in the last but I think the rhythm is like the original. And I like Yeats so I think it's good he has a form named for him.
