Coffee, coffee,
coffee
I want tea, tea, tea
Can’t stand the
bitter taste
Of beans roasted
And the smell, just
awful
The noise of the
machines
Whining and groaning
like sirens
Screeching their
alarm with steam
Please go back to the
genteel art
Of drinking tea that
calms my heart
A pot or two a day
Keeps the doctor away
Or so I believe
I certainly feel
relief
Coffee addicts queue
down the streets
Before they meet and
greet
Friends or business
colleagues
To kick start their
day
While on their way
Commuting or studying
Give your step a
spring
I like the bounce in the rhythm of this. No coffee hit needed to create a brisk pace here. And I'm with you in singing the praises of a nice pot of tea - loose leaves please - no soggy teabags full of tealeaf dust. Confession time however - I have it both ways. Can't beat a creamy latte for mid-morning break.😊
ReplyDeleteI like mint teas the best.
ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteNicely written verses. I am a coffee person myself.
Shalom,

I enjoy both coffee and (herbal) tea, but I *must* have coffee and tea is a pleasant evening drink.
