That Is the Tea

Maybe I’m just being petty let me state my case are you ready When we first met your swagger made me stagger honestly I stammered over your use of grammar Like a hacker who was attacking with your rap.... Your words were so deadly.... Such a clever endeavor whenever your around a bearer of wealth and treasure leaving me bound Silently you’d sit, yet righteously you’d come back violently leaving those who tried you, lifeless Your very vibrancy excitedly delighted me How they would think themselves majorly Lol but truthfully only minor league Always hittin what you were spittin don’t you agree We were a dynasty I say that modestly Always being the talk of society we were their delicious tea Over time now I wonder do you still notice me Or perhaps Im just too devoted see I’ve promoted my motive endlessly Lowered my guard just a poetess, writing poetry Noted all the unknowns graciously As I’m steadily trying to write impressively Countless pieces I bring in a myriad unnoticed seriously So curiously am I petty? You got me I guess that’s it point, blank, period that’s the tea

From dynasty to unknowns gracious, a petty writer of mere poetry. The rise and fall of this verse is a real roller-coaster of a ride, Brenda. Neatly done! Peace and Serenity -- and a cup of Tea. :) Gershon
