Twenty Four-Seven (a poem about tea and me)

A cloistered nun I could not be, for I can't live without my tea, that blasted vow of poverty, when tea is such a luxury. Perhaps resort to closet drinking, my tarnished halo slowly shrinking, boiling water night and day, sneaking about and feeling shame. Not that tea breaks convent rules, but I'm a weak-kneed glutton, and if they knew how much I drank, I'd be kicked out on my button!
