T E A Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

No beverage so popular
no word so understood
no drink so preferred
than tea...
since time immemorial
tea consolidates its position
in every household
rich or poor
young or old
bed tea, the incentive to get up
morning tea, the body energizer
and the mind vitalizer
manifold uses....
in hot summer
and cold winter
a stranger is greeted with tea
tea starts any office meeting
or any business deal
tea party or hi-tea
it is tea that steals the show
bus driver requires during night drive
student's best friend in pre-examination night
tea is the time-pass
for any kind of activity
tea unites people
tea relieves stress
tea has got plethora of benefits
with limits, it can work wonders
but addiction, a real danger
let us not make that blunder.
