Tea Time

The kettle's on... 

I'm thinking about the good old days as I begin to write 
Thinking about my younger years, when the ground was colored white 
After I was done playing in the snow, my mother set for me 
Two brownies with some chocolate chips and a cup of sweetened tea 
I always added a dash of cream to lighten up the taste 
But these days, I eat just one brownie, I've got to watch my waist 

Pouring the water... 

The smell of tea just hits home, but I must prepare it right 
Two teaspoons of sugar and a dash of cream but never all too light 

Sipping... 

Ah, that first sip always tastes so good, 
it truly warms me up 
And usually before I'm finished drinking it... 
I'm thinking about a second cup 

Another sip... 

Tonight, I'm dipping in my tea, some peanut butter on white toast 
Growing up, and still today, I love that combo most 

Another sip... 

I love to stay up late at night, drinking tea and watching flicks 
And when I'm done and all hyped up, canoodle for some kicks 

Last sip... 

Well, it's getting late, so I must go now... 
As I sip my last taste of tea 
Besides the fact it's getting late... 
Got to hurry, damn it... ((I've got to pee))
