Tea

...for my fellow Englishmen


Lanky penicillin,
beverage extraordinaire!
Warms you when you're chillin',
relaxin' in your chair.

In times of tribulation
when you cannot see the light,
choose the tried and true libation -
a brew will set you right!

The healing virtues of this potion
must not be misconstrued;
it's every Lanky's notion
that a cuppa'll fix your mood!

This is a really great poem. I never heard the expression "Lanky penicillin" for tea before now. And it is true, nothin' like it. Best wishes, Robin
