Tea

I always thought that tea leaves

Were what you used for tea.

I plonked them in a teapot

And stirred them up with glee.

But then somebody told me

You could make tea with fruit;

You could make tea with nutmeg,

Or bits of ginger root!

I went on quite a rampage

This fact had blown my mind.

And I was very ready

To leave tea leaves behind.

I made some tea with gumnuts

I made some tea with stones,

I made some tea with gravy

And mouldy chicken bones.

So next time that you visit,

You must, of course, stop by.

I’ll serve you up some fruitcake

A slice of apple pie.

I’ll use the china teacups

The silver teaspoons too—

And you will get a taste of

The tea I make from glue!
