Ode to Tea
December 2nd, 2007 Posted 9:00 pm
When I feel like I have just been
Hit by a four ton truck,
I fill a pot with water
And pull out my ceramic cup.
I take down all the tea bags
From their spot up on the shelf
And pick out the one flavor
That will help me above all else.
There’s peppermint for stomach problems,
People stress, and moods
Or if I’m too tired to stay awake
Because there’s just too much to do.
Chai is my favorite kind.
I drink it if I’m sad
Or need that little extra love
That I don’t feel I have.
If I just want something
To get me from A to B,
I pack a little strawberry
Before I go to leave.
Lemon and lemon balm
Are two different types of teas
But they calm me down immensely
So that I can go to sleep.
With one lump of sugar
And a good quantity of milk,
I love my steaming hot delight,
A counselor in a cup.
Without this British delicacy
I would be a different me.
Thank goodness for this discovery!
Thank you, God, for tea!
