Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 882 (An Authentic Tea Party)

Pour me a cup of tea-

And, I’ll be as happy, as I can be.

.

Add, a little bit, of sugar and cream-

A tea lover’s ultimate dream.

.

Of course, back in the olden days-

The addition, of milk, cut both ways.

.

If you were affluent, you drank yours mostly straight-

And, if you weren’t then dilution with milk, was your date.

.

To stretch it as far as it would go-

Our love for tea still continues to grow.

.

Of course, a certain  taste, has been acquired-

Give me all the additions, for I want to be truly wired.

.

If I were to win the lottery, it would be a welcome dream-

With still wants of that added cream.

.

Native American Indians, a “thousand” years ago-

Made a strong tea, 6 times stronger than our modern cup of joe.

.

Using toasted holly leaves and stems, near the present day,

State of Illinois-

It would make you sick, cleanse your soul, and then bring you

joy.

.

Dilution, of course, is the key-

To savoring that perfect cup of tea.

.

Pour me a cup of tea-

And, I’ll be as happy as I can be.
