Afternoon Tea Conundrum

I consulted my phone.
Is it a scone, or is it a scone?
Siri's tone scone:
Alexa's gone scone!

Am I out on on my own,
If I say it's a scone?
Or part of the throng,
If I say it's a scone?

Will they leave me alone,
Because I said it's a scone?
When they've left, and they've gone
Because I said it's a scone.

Did I say in wrong tone,
I think it's a scone?
Will they sigh, will they groan,
If I ask for a scone?

Am I right, am I wrong
For deciding on scone?
Will red card be shown
If I say it's a scone!

If I'd have known,
I wouldn't have said scone.
But then again if I settled on,
Saying it's a scone,

Would it be right, and will I be long,
There's a long queue forming along!
I'd better ask for a scone,
And be gone,
Or should I go home,
And just eat my scone?
Oh whatever this tea etiquette,
I'll ask Siobhan and see what I get!

First hurdle over that's some fun done
Before the sultana, raisin conundrum
Then there's the challenge of the cream or the jam?
Am I a mouse or am I a man?

Milk in the cup first, followed by tea,
Or tea then the milk the way it should be?
Afternoon tea! Complicated if you lets it
Negotiation points now added to Brexit!
