Lifts me up from lethargy
Perks me up as always
To face another day
A dash of lemon grass
Or a few leaves of basil
Or maybe strands of ginger
Added to tea leaves to rustle
In boiling water for a minute
A spoonful of dairy whitener
To go with plant based sweetener
Let's the taste for long linger
The beautiful aroma of herbs
Awakens all my senses at once
I cannot for a day go without
It anyway or I shall stay
Put in the bed the whole day

You tell it so well, and make it sound so delectable, you almost convince me – but it's black coffee I must have first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI cannot have anything black - tea or coffee. I have to develop a taste for that.
DeleteI prefer tea anyway over any drink but if push comes to shove or rather no milk available, I can easily have black coffee or tea.
ReplyDeleteI have not developed a taste for black coffee or black tea as yet.
