A Cultural Cup of Tea

A cultural cup of tea Coffee isn’t my bean but give me tea leaves A cup of cha do la not cocoa ta no ta Brew me up chuck no Italian espresso like muck Caffeine in the shape of a tea bag in a mug glug slug glug Two sugars please love as I wink to see her breast in the gaze of my eyes pleased No Darjeeling just plain old tea with a tea spoon and a bag to strenuously squeeze A British moment of the day that almost everyone lifts their cup and elbows to the skies I am an English man and I will have a decent cup of tea because it is in my cultural rites
