Camomile Tea V Beer

I once tried some camomile tea,
It was bland and tasted like pee.
‘Twas lapped up by the dog,
Who then snored like a hog.
From then on, was just beer for me.

Hilarious, Jack. Although I love Chamomile tea, the color does look like pee and it surely puts you to sleep. Have enough beer (when smells like pee to me-LOL) and you'll be sleeping it off as well. Great entry for Francine's contest. Winning wishes headed your way. Love, Carolyn

Warm beer, I suppose. Have a 'John Smiths;' not sold in the states. Too bad. I'll drink beer any day rather than tea.

I would have to agree with you about the tea, however I don't drink so I can't say the beer would be better! Awesome work Jack!!
