Can anyone help with the verse(s) of this poem it's for an old friend.
Thank you.
It's something to do with a parlour made being given a tea cosy and was asked to put it on, and served the tea with the cosy on her head instead of the on the tea pot.

Like the old joke about an English family sending some mid-West American relatives a teacosy as a Christmas gift and receiving a letter of thanks which says "Our daughter has worn it twice to church and been much admired."
