"And then... there is the awkward fact / I can no longer pay"
God Save Me and Her Majesty
I love the kids at Starbucks but Their coffee is too strong Like creosote no matter what Somehow it has the wrong Effect on me: I prefer tea
Part of my British heritage I serve myself at home for free A kindness in an unkind age
And then... there is the awkward fact I can no longer pay Despite their kindness and their tact Giving their tar to me I had better have tea today
God save me and Her Majesty
+Steven Curtis Lance
(Note: This one is just for fun, but for something more substantive which takes tea as its point of departure, please be sure to read the poem immediately preceding this one, entitled Strong Tea and Hope. Thanks and love, +Stevie)
I'm a tea and coffee lover (though I need to cut down on the coffee). I really like the idea of 'tea time' and think we should take a break here in the states, invite a friend over, and spend an hour of 'down time' with tea and cakes like many other countries do...
Simply lovely, I must say. Charming write Stevie! My daughter prefers tea, never developing a taste for coffee. She favors her grandmother Maude in more ways than one. Maude taught me the pleasures of tea and books. But for the most part around here if a spoon doesn't stand up in a cup of coffee, it isn't coffee. I love coffee, but tea is so soothing at certain times. Tea seems to fit your gentle nature...
Sorry But - That is not my cup of tea. Cajun coffee for me any time of day or night. It is not tar to us. The coffee we drink is strong enough to walk. It'll wake you from a drunken sleep. Well! as you know, we're from the deep south. Good Day

"Murder isn't usually this funny."
