We start our day with coffee,
To set out brainstems racing,
We then indulge in a cup or three,
Of tea to keep us pacing.
And so we steadily work from home,
Writing a good blog and recipe,
‘Bout the latest seed or fine rhizome,
But then everything stops for tea.
We’ve recently found a wine buff,
To deliver wine-based chemistry,
We discussed all things vino off the cuff,
But then everything stopped for tea.
So if you pen a guest post for our blog,
Become part of our food-based family,
Write an enticing food-based monologue,
Just know this, EVERYTHING stops for tea!
Oh, I don’t know,
It’s not just so,
Because I love my coffee!
I do drink tea,
But only icily,
Other ways are abhorrent to me!
Now, if the choice is wine,
I think that’s sublime,
But, never before 7:30!
I drink both happily…but tea is soothing…

I long for Oolong or Jasmine leaves.
Orange Pekoe is divine.
But decisions at breakfast are Irish or English,
Drink both and all will be fine!
Haha! And I love Darjeeling…
Your two replies are very clever. I SHOULD be challenged but the coffee (iced) hasn’t kicked in yet. Your poem was such fun to read. Enjoy a beverage filled day!
Thanks Alessa! We will!
Nor here. I know the English, for example, measure their days by their tea breaks. I grew up with coffee, so it’s three cups a day, freshly ground ☼
I love coffee too! Just find tea calms me…
Everything for me stops for food! Tea seems like a more healthy alternative, though – lol!
Well, food for me too, I confess it!
Tho’ I don’t drink
Coffee, tea or wine
I find your poems
To all be fine.
I am not a cook
But I used to bake.
I use fruits and nuts
To stay awake.
24 oz of water
Do I pour
And drink with my gorp
So I don’t snore.
Haha..,just love all 3!
I love your poetry and your images – and, of course, I always love relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea.
Me too Diane!
You nailed it: it is coffee in the morning, and then tea. Do you think that, at some point, we become addicted to tea or coffee? I certainly couldn’t live without them!
I feel sure we are addicted… X
