Oh mug, oh mug, you are my radiance,
You sit there like a stone, an undying obedience.
Oh mug, oh mug, you fill me like I fill you,
The tinge of bister, that reflects, your alabaster hue,
The utopian mix that warms me up,
On a glacial day, you are my favorite cup.
Oh mug, oh mug, you remind me of times immemorial,
When the ticking of a clock would feel boreal.
Lonely days of heartbreak, relieved,
You were there, side by side, when I grieved.
Oh mug, oh mug, don't we have some memories?
I keep them in a safe, in documentaries.
Oh mug, oh mug, I mustn't thank you enough.
