What’s my tipple

My habit

My obsession

My addiction

My `poison’

My weakness

My passion

My affliction

My non-narcotic remedy

A tannic acid fix for me?

It’s got to be

A cup of tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

 

The 20th letter of the alphabet

I like it warm

I like it wet

Although it makes my body sweat

And my bladder pee

(That’s the 16th letter incidentally)

I wanna soak my throat in a moat of

Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

 

Assam, Russian Caravan, Lapsang Souchong

Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Camomile, Ceylon

I’m even compelled to lick my lips

For Typhoo, Tetley and PG Tips

My favourite bush

My favourite leaf

It sees me through my pain and grief

Although my dentist says it discolours my teeth

When the kettle boils at three

It’s time for tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

 

When my nerves are on the edge

When I’m gonna jump from that window ledge

I don’t want a downer or an upper

But my chosen beverage

A good old fashioned cuppa

It’s soothing, relaxing

Calming, untaxing

What liquid’s got me lyrically waxing

And writing poetry?

Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

 

`T’ for tranquillity

Tea in company

Tea for two - you and me

Tea takes the stress out of when we break up

Tea is the best brew for when we make up

The world would be a more peaceful place

If tea was consumed by the whole human race

Where you gonna dunk your digestive or Garibaldi?

In your tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

 

So come back to mine for some you know what

Something you love that’s steamy and hot

We don’t have to share a bed

When we can share a pot instead

As we sidestep current thinking

With the drink that we’ll be drinking

Boycott the coffee revolution

For this ingenious infusion

You’d have to be a bit odd

To say that honey was the Nectar of the Gods?

When it’s tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

Cup of cha

Rosy Lee

Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea
