How wonderful that you stopped by
It’s been too long
You must join me for a cup of fresh-brewed oolong

I see you’re filled up to the brim
With some evening news
It’s honey for me
And is it one lump or two?

The banks, you say, are all at war
Over piles of green
But though I like green tea with mint, I chose darjeeling

And human interest stories
Make me sad and blue
It’s honey for me
And is it one lump or two?

You like all your facts, harsh and cold in black and white extreme
But I prefer a steaming cup of Earl Grey with cream
Your concern is that I be forewarned and well-informed
But it feels more like a cold breeze where I was nice and warmed

Please don’t say that I don’t care
It’s just not true
I’d love to rid all bitterness from hunger to the flu

And every day I try my best
To do all I can do 
But now
It’s honey for me 
And is it one lump or two?
