Coffee vs tea.
Yes coffee can help you to wake up in the morning,
It’s great for catch up with friends.
Yes coffee shops help you unwind a little,
and it’s cool to keep up with trends.
but when life gets real,
whether in shock or grieving,
you want to show you care,
or you need some comforting,
in times of real need,
I think we can all agree,
nothing sounds better than:
″how about a cup of tea?”
Coffee or tea
Tea
a watery refreshment
a way to wind down after a day
A sweet way
A beautiful soft drink
with flavours of so many
A pop of mint or honey
A kettle wisttling
A preference for night
Coffee
A brown brew
a 5:30 wake up
Just one more cup!
and adiction
a compfort
A bit of suger please
and some cream
oooh some wipped cream
a stir and....
does hot chocolate count?
a preference for morning
Coffee or Tea?
For me it’s tea, every time.
I have honestly used the following examples at work but they would not work with coffee.
Example 1:
Me: “I feel like a twenty-five letter alphabet.”
Colleague 1: “Why?”
Me: “I’m missing a ‘t’.”
Example 2:
Me: “Okay, let’s play a game. I’ll ask three questions and the first one answer wins.”
Colleagues 2 and 3 nod eagerly. Everyone loves an excuse to take an impromptu break.
Me: “What’s the [pause to make seem like this hasn’t been planned] fifth letter of the alphabet?”
Colleague 2: “E!”
Me: “Yes. Well done. Now, what’s the [are they still falling for this dramatic pause?] tenth letter of the alphabet?”
Colleague 2: “I?”
Me: “No.”
Colleague 3: “J?”
Me: “Yes! Oh, it’s close now. One point each and only one question left. Who’s gonna be the winner?”
Colleague 3 almost falls off her chair with the excitement.
Me: “What’s the twentieth letter of the alphabet?” [No need to pause here, I’ve got them hooked.]
Colleague 2, with desperation in his voice: “T?”
Me, holding out my tea mug: “Yes please.”
I didn’t say they were good examples and they’ve yet to actually net me a brew, but they help break up the working day.
Coffee, Tea, Coffee Combo
The first step to gaining my love for coffee began by ending an addiction to drinking Mountain Dew every day. It was out of hand - I used to keep a 12 pack in my car, and I would drink a can every day on my way to work. I did eventually stop doing this, and some time later I was at work feeling tired (at this point I had a third child, whom was a baby at the time). There was free coffee in the office, and on a whim I tried it and loved it. I like coffee black, so it was healthier than Mountain Dew. Years later when I began teaching, I would make a pot of coffee and drink the whole thing throughout the day. I began getting terrible headaches, and once I cut the coffee from 1 pot a day to 2 cups a day, the headaches were done. I still wanted a caffeine fix in the middle of the day, and that's where green tea came into play. I began drinking green tea from a recommendation on a diet plan I was following. It was an acquired taste, but once I got used to it, the tea did the trick of giving me a boost to get through the rest of the work day. I need to get back on a diet, but I have been enjoying pizzas and cheeseburgers too much lately. But when I am taking better care of myself, a cup of black coffee in the morning, a cup of green tea in the afternoon, and one more cup of black coffee in the evening are all decent choices for a caffeine fix. I'm thinking in a week or so it is time to make some healthier life choices, including getting consistent on the coffee, tea, coffee combo for the extent of my daily caffeine intake....
