No Longer a Traves-Tea

My husband brews terrible tea
So I asked him repeatedly
To pre warm the pot
With water that's hot
But he never listened to me!

I admit I should not be rude
But his tea tasted dreadfully stewed
T'was bitter and brown
Each cup made me frown
He said I showed no gratitude! 

So I embarked on a crusade
And purchased a shiny teasmaid
It makes the perfect brew
There is plenty for two
I’m delighted I made the upgrade!
