Put the Kettle On

I love a cup of tea in the morning, coffee at night and in the afternoon. Tea with the sun, coffee with the moon. I love caffeine,it keeps me awake. How many sugars do I take? I take no sugar in my tea because it taints the flavour, you see. One in my coffee to take away the bitterness, just the one,no more,no less. I don't like stewed tea, I like it just right but I like my coffee strong, it has to have that bite. Have a cup of tea when you're feeling upset, a good chat too, the best remedy you can get. Have a cup of coffee when you're feeling tired but don't over do it, else you'll be wired. A nice slice of cake goes well with both, with tea,Victoria Sandwich, with coffee fruit loaf. Caffeine's still a drug so have respect for it, if you drink it late at night, your sleep you will forfeit. So put the kettle on, let's have a nice brew but remember that I'm fussy so don't let it stew.
