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))
