A delicate earl grey brew

To refresh after the last mouthful 

Of lemon cheese cake

Oh  what a delightful pleasure

That a humble cup of tea

Brings to blasé tastebuds

Not that my usual

Evening cuppa of mint tea and ginger

Does not satisfy me

But that special cup

Brought flavours long forgotten 

So enjoy it while it last

Oh the cup emptied so quickly

Resist the temptation of another one.

Familiarity breeds contempt 

Isn't so?
