Why I Like Tea, parts 1 & 2

-I-

I sing a song of wondrous tea
And everything it means to me
How could it ever come to be
That this strange herb from cross the sea
The leaf of some exotic tree
Could fill so many hearts with glee?
Somehow this oriental drink
Can calm the mind and sooth the soul
And even (at least, so I think)
Help me gain some self-control
Since discovery by the Chinese
With all their fiendish expertise
Tea has made this world a finer place.

-II-

Chinese or Indian
Sinensis, Camellia
Makes a good drink
Boiled from leafy remains

Not only this, its
Anti-oxidity
Is very good
For the heart and the veins
