Ode to Tea
2005-05-11,

Oh righteous beverage!
If you were green
You'd be good for me.

Oh gracious beverage!
Your caffeination
Is bad for my kidneys
But improves my state of mind.

Oh unconventional beverage!
If but you were as accessible here
As you are in India or England.

Oh dualistic beverage!
You are as enjoyable hot
As you are cold.

Oh magnificent beverage!
You stain my teeth
But I love you still.

I have no idea where to go after that.

I know-- how about some gratuitous meme-ish sharing?

Pet Peeves:

• people who do the 'mouth vibrato' thing when they sing
• having to repeat myself
• closed-mindedness
• not being told that we're out of a household item (I'm in charge of grocery shopping)
• starting a list and then not being able to flesh it out properly
• realizing something I said or did was just like my dad
• shallow/soulless people
• people who don't use their turn signals
• gratuitousness
• tone deaf karaoke singers
• not having internet access
• not having my air car and robot yet
• coming up with witty comebacks after-the-fact
• having to repeat myself

No a comprehensive list. I'm annoyed by many more things than this, I assure you.
