toast with tea and angels

Sometimes the simple things in life are the best

Put a slice of fresh bread in the toaster

Spread some real butter on the hot toast

Devour it as the butter starts to melt

Its nowhere near as good when the bread is old

Burnt toast is a carbonized carcinogenic catastrophe 

Fake butter cannot hold a candle to the genuine article

You can never melt butter on stone cold toast

The English are obsessed with making tea correctly

The ritual includes pre-warming the teapot

They brew it for the precise time before pouring

It tastes so much better in a nice china cup

Inexperienced tea makers can easily ruin their drink

Over brewed tea tastes stewed and bitter

Forget to strain the leaves and you will be drinking tea soup

Tepid tea tastes sickly and cannot be resurrected by reheating  

With practice you can learn to make a perfect tea and toast combination

Bite into a crunchy slice of warm toast and taste that creamy butter

Then take a sip of hot tea and pause..repeat….pause…repeat

Now pour a cup of tea for the angel who just appeared beside you
