Tea

Like a dose of penicillin it's a drink extraordinaire, it warms you when you're chillin', just relaxing in your chair. In times of tribulation when you cannot see the light, choose this tried and true libation for a brew will set you right. The healing virtues of this potion must not be misconstrued, it's every Lanky's* notion that a cuppa'll fix your mood! ******* *Lanky ~ a person from Lancashire a county in the north of England.

It's tea for me, sir! I drink at least six cups a day – all kinds, from American to British. It is, as you say, a lifter-upper, at least for me. Americans were tea drinkers long before the Boston Tea Party! As a boy I drank it as my grandmama made it – black and lose-leaf. Thanks for the stop by. Always appreciated. / M

Thank you Ilene! Of course, growing up in England, I drank gallons of tea, but now I'm more of a coffee drinker. Cheers to you whatever your favorite beverage is! Keith
