Sweet tea
the wine of the South
along with decadent treats
sweet to the mouth
A wonderful sunny afternoon
enjoying a glass of sweet cold tea
such wonderful memories
of stories told to me
Tales of a party
in a story of old
tea thrown overboard
high taxes to withhold
An elderly woman
reading the tea leaves
telling of the future
each leaf that she sees
Then the story
with a rabbit and mad hatter
a wonderful tea party
imagination in the matter
Drinking sweet tea
cooling on this summer day
reading short stories
enjoying life this way
