Singing Teapots Unite!

The teapot sings but once a year and you never can tell when it might be. Many have studied the phonomenon but very few facts are known about this most rare of occurances. All people know is that teapots, when left unattended at least once in every 365 day cycle sing the most beautiful tune. Since this has become public knowledge many have tried to sit with a teapot for an entire year, swapping shifts in order to witness the event, but the teapots are wary and will always sing at the exact moment both people are either asleep or not paying attention.

In fact hearing a teapot sing is so rare that nobody has actually heard or seen it, but as nobody can ever say with absolute certainty they have watched a teapot for a year without any distractions or breaks, it must be a fact that teapots sing as we cannot prove otherwise.

Why they only sing once a year is unknown as well, the timings are seemingly random but maybe, if we lined up all the teapots in the world they would unite together in a continous song that would last all year and soothe our aching souls with it's tender lyricism.

I have begun then the daunting, but vital, task of collecting all the teapots in the world for such an event, I currently have three and am just off to raid my nearest Debenhams store so if you would like to be a part of this social and scientific experiment dear readers do send your teapots and any others that you find to 12 Crumble Avenue and help make teapot singing history!
