In Texas it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy
when the rain passed by.
.
It thundered a bit with a
roar-
It passed by quick, with
a little more emotion in
store.
.
Not no serious rains, but
enough to get the land
wet-
With a bit of drought,
we’d already paid our
debt.
.
In Texas, it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy,
when the rain passed by.

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.
