Oh this was brilliant! At first I thought that Spike wanted Giles to give her the poem... but he wants him to recite it, doesn't he! I would love to see Buffy's reaction to that!

I'm trying to imagine scenarios that Giles would even be in a situation where he was forced to offer Spike tea and unwilling sympathy after a post-Spike/Buffy break up. A Season 4/5 AU, maybe, but sometime post-series is the most intriguing. Especially with the direction things might go if Giles really does deliver the poem!
