It's something we have always done
whenever we have got worry or anxiety
do we reach for the whisky bottle?
No, we just have a cup of tea.
It seems to ease all of those worries
whatever the time of the day
do you need to solve a problem?
then have a cup of Typhoo or Earl Grey.
Whenever someone comes to visit
like an engineer to fix your T.V.
the first thing the householder may say is,
'would you like a nice cup of tea? '
I bet if aliens invaded British cities
do you know the first thing we'd all do?
would it be to flee and run and hide?
No, we'd just offer them a brew.
So even though things are looking bleak
and the cut backs are causing misery
you can bet all the char in China
we'll all still enjoy a nice cup of tea!

Tea is very calming and I often wish we had the same tradition in order to also derive such comfort. Must be very nice to have that. πβπ
@ckahn tea has to be one of the biggest calmers or than tranquillisers lol but we all have the effect to calm others if we just slow down and take the time :) x
Hmmm. Reading this has resulted in my making a cuppa. NATO standard of course (T bag left in the cup and sweet sugar. Aaaaah. Lush).
