Around the world in a tea bag
by Anne Howe
I have a little tea bag
Its flat and square, with strings
Mixed with water in a teapot
To me such joy it brings
Theres green tea and theres black tea
Herbal, Assam and Earl Grey
A tea for every mood, in fact
Well, so the adverts say.
Camomile to send us off to sleep
Peppermint to give us pep
Good old fashioned PG tips
With fish and chips is best
Some Lancashire folk like their tea stewed
Well, it was brewed but left to stand
And those little Tetley Tea Bag Men
Just think that this is grand
I took a trip to India
Inside the health food store
Chai, all spiced up and decaff too
And it had traveled more
Sold in an Australian shop
By New Zealand packers packed
It also came through Germany
Now, what do you think of that
I love my cup of Indian chai
Blended from local and imported products
I sniff and conjure up

| Posted by Charles E Minshall on 02/03/03 at 05:33 AM Good poem Annie. I am a total teatotaler, tea
I never drink. But my wife collects tea pots,
she has about 50 or sixty. Mostly Fitz and Floyd.
....Charlie
