Peppermint Tea

Steep a bag of peppermint tea
into a cup of  boiling water
and let it bleed

The minty flavor blends and holds
that peppermint aroma bold
A sniff of steam tickles your nose
and goes way down to curl your toes

Blow the steam and take a sip
taste of peppermint cleanse the palate
Refreshes the mouth and clears the nose
again the peppermint can curl your toes

Hot and savory on a cold day
peppermint tea keeps the chills away
Better yet don't remiss
peppermint tea gives you kissable breath

No sugar or honey I need
drink it straight my peppermint tea
For the stomach it does soothe
relaxes tensions into smooth

Peppermint tea a minty delight
think I'll have another cup tonight
