I like a hot beverage
Almost any time of day
And if it’s not made how I like it
I’ll drink it anyway

My preference is coffee
But to avoid confusion
I’ll happily drink tea
And accept a fruit infusion

Some drinks can be refreshing
And some quite stimulating
While herbal ones I find
Are often more sedating

Sometimes I like to think
That I am a connoisseur
And it’s true that there are certain brands
I claim that I prefer

But I’m really not that fussy
No that is quite untrue
And my favourite drink of all
Is the one that’s made by you

      I can only assume that hot beverages mean as much to you as they do to me…

    Mrs Scribblans would definitely have opinions more on the side of ‘lazy’ I think, regardless of a last verse attempting to spin it.

      Mrs Scribblans would be wise to have that opinion

    Coffee or tea— always. Made by anyone anytime… as long as I get my fix!

      Hasn’t proved as effective as I would have liked though. Still made quite a lot of my own hot drinks today…

    Pulled it out of the fire with that last verse James. Was Mrs Proclaims reading over your shoulder?

        My wife has a simple opinion of everything I write. ‘Too long. Too many long words.’

        Sometimes my wife pretends to be interested, but it can be very hard for her to conceal the boredom

      I can’t say I’m not a little hurt, but I respect the position you have taken on this. It is important to have boundaries.
