-Magic Elixir

There is a magic elixir
With secret healing powers
Throughout this big wide world
It is ingested every hour

This elixir is not costly
Is available for all and sundry 
From every walk of life or culture
In both hot or cold countries

It calms the nerves and aids the sick
Gives comfort when lonely or afraid
Cheers the sad or unhappy souls
Helps keep troubles and woes at bay

Brings a sense of normality
When all has gone astray
Rationalises situations 
To make it feel “Ok”

It can help relax in a social situation
Creating a connective atmosphere 
Is cheered in celebration 
Way back from yesteryear 

It is available in various colours
Like black ,white, green
Can be weak, strong, bitter or sweet
Hot , cold or anywhere in between

You can consume  it from many a vessel
It has many a different name
Enjoyed by both young and old
From its benefits all will gain

So ,wherever you are
Or whoever you may be
It’s time to pop the kettle on
“And have a cup of tea”!
