Word of the day

So Lucy says
the English base

now has a smell of mint.
The cause? Who knows?
Some aftershave?
A cake? Some gum? A Smint?

And so at break
I thought I'd take
a break from Earl Grey tea,
and I filled up
a paper cup
with pepperminty tea.

A peppermint
infusìon;
a corrugated cup;
black plastic lid
(fedora shaped)
with hole through which to sup.

L'Envoi:

Back at base creatively
to describe the curiosity
of odours formed from fancy tea,
in Helen's presence, friendlily
I minted a new word, qv:
Peppermintiosity.
