Tea

Like a dose of penicillin,
beverage extraordinaire,
it warms you when you're chillin',
just relaxin' in your chair.

In times of tribulation
when you cannot see the light,
choose the tried and true libation, 
a brew'll set you right.

The healing virtues of this potion
must not be misconstrued,
every Englishman'll tell ya
that a cuppa'll fix your mood!

Wow i was just thinking of you and a minute later here your comment popped up. I love your poem but this gal is allergic to tea--can you imagine that. But drink on my friend. You should enter this on Nathan's coffee house contest. Not everyone loves coffee so why not tea. Have a nice weekend.
