Hello James, - Tea's up!
--------------
"The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury."
Charlie Chaplin
"Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room
with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on." Billy Connolly
Now I love tea and tea loves me
Except that it makes me want to...
be forever finding,
and this bit grieves,
ways of recycling spent tea leaves.
Good for the garden that's where they should go,
That's if I can be ars.. bothered to throw
them out when it's raining
and I've got bare feet,
so usually at this point I tend to cheat
and try to flush them down the sink,
then make myself another drink!
So Mr May, according to you
You're always making this tasty brew,
The burning question is,
I want to know,
Where do all your tea leaves go?
Do you like me
shove them down the sink
and block it up and make it stink?
I suppose that I should use my strainer,
leave them to dry out on the drainer.
Then bag them up,
add raspberry,
and sell them off as herbal tea!
