Tea

They ask me if I want some tea

Of course I say, "Yes, please"

Maybe I'm a little naive 

I thought everyone made tea the same way 

Our tea, sunbrewed 

Our tea is sweet 

Our tea is good 

Our tea was all I ever knew 

Our tea makes me happy 

But these people aren't from here 

They bring me a cup filled with deception 

I take a sip

Immediately, I can't help but spit

This stuff is bitter 

It's dirty water 

It's the devil's brew

This cup is full of misery 

It can't possibly be tea

This cup is where I lose my manners 

This cup makes me gag

It makes me feel like a cat

hacking up a furball

This "tea" is an imposter 

This "tea" makes me feel sick 

It dries out my mouth 

It makes me cough 

No way was it made by someone from 

the south 

I must pour it out
