I'd like to be a teabag,
And stay at home all day-
And talk to other teabags
In a teabag sort of way...
I'd love to be a teabag;
And lie in a little box-
And never have to wash my face
Or change my dirty socks...
I'd like to be a teabag,
An Earl Grey one perhaps,
And doze all day and lie around
With Earl Grey kind of chaps.
I wouldn't have to do a thing,
No homework, jobs or chores-
Comfy in my caddy
Of teabags and their snores.
I wouldn't have to do exams
I needn't tidy rooms,
Or sweep the floor or feed the cat
Or wash up all the spoons.
I wouldn't have to do a thing,
A life of bliss-you see...
Except that once in all my life
I'd make a cup of tea !
As a tea drinker, I love this cute little poem by Peter Dixon about the pleasures of being a teabag :-)

And though I do enjoy Earl Grey tea very much, these Cinnamon teabags are perfect for a chilly day! They have a lovely Christmassy aroma which is so pleasing and comforting and helps to cosy up my mood and get me dreaming of the festive season to come.
Hope you are all having a relaxing and very blessed day ..Trish

Trish, this is such a fun post, and a great simple pleasure. I only recently learned from a bloggy friend across the pond (as we call it) how to brew the perfect cup of tea. It made all the difference and I now enjoy tea time so much.
ReplyDeleteAw Trish, this is a gorgeous little poem! At first I thought you wrote it until I saw the credit. I really enjoyed it...
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I would like to be a teabag though... what happens after you have your 5 minutes of fame dangling in boiling hot water? Eeeekk!! lol!
I too am fond of herbal tea, mint medley is my favorite and I need to try cinnamon. It sounds so yummy on a cold morning. I'll add the thought from Eleanor Roosevelt, "A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she's in hot water!" Just a little something to think about when you take your next warm sip.
ReplyDeleteCute poem!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute poem....
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute poem. But I'm not sure I would want to be dunked in hot water! :) I can smell the cinnamon tea now. Nice! Have a terrific day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem Trish, I am a tea drinker too, and enjoy the flavored ones especially this time of year. Thanks for sharing.

I love tea! It's the only thing keeping me warm now. What a cute poem.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I am a big tea drinker, too. Just love the poem. Hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteSmiling!! I thought until the end that you had written it yourself. That's the cutest little poem, and this is definitely tea drinking weather around here right now.
ReplyDeleteMe? I like a little chai.
Love the poem... I'm ready to brew a cup of tea and just stir in some cinnamon to see what it's like. Thank you for visiting my blog and for taking time to comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little poem. I'll look out for cinnamon tea over here, it sounds good!
ReplyDeleteTrish,
ReplyDeleteI loved the cute little poem. I thought that you had written it. :)

I enjoyed your new header with all the china. Oh how I love china and tea. My favorite right now is mint tea. Made from mint I dried from my garden. You asked if I had taken the picture of the moon on my site. Yes I did.
ReplyDeleteSmiles.

I enjoy the one cup, tea pots! They make the best presents. Yours is really pretty. Makes me want a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your welcome. Blogging is very new to me, and my daughter is a wonderful help. I loved the poem, and also love a cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard this cute poem before. I love the smell and taste of tea as the weather cools.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all liked the little poem :-) All tea is good if you ask me! I do love mint and chai very much- in fact I enjoy too many to list lol!
ReplyDeleteGnee..thank you for that great quote!
Dottie.. you are a brilliant photographer - my hubby is trying hard to capture a good shot of the moon :-)
Hope you are all having a wonderful week dear friends. blessings..Trish
From one tea drinker to another, that was a great poem. The cinnamon sounds great, never seen it in the shops though. I mostly drink Jasmine tea, but occasionally I like to try something different.
ReplyDeleteI have a recipe for a cake where you soak tea bags in hot water and add to the cake (barra brith) - the cinnamon tea bags would be good.
Your beautiful comment moved me to tears... what a healing balm to my soul. Thank you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is wonderful! How did I miss this post????? :sigh: It would be great to have tea together! Whimsical poem, thank you!
