A Little Something About Nothing -- Much


Tea yields to coffee.
Fern's dwarfed by tree.
Flag snaps it's meaning to attention.
Bee is busy all day.
Won't you join me in a cup of tea?
We can lie down in the moss by the fern.
If you see a cop passing, flag him down.
And the bee bows down to his queen.

And tea's sometimes served ceremoniously.
A fern can be used as a fan.
Raise the flag, and see who salutes.
And the bee puts up a non-smoking sign.

All life is taken as tea and toast.
All Chinamen are fern.
All flags force a decision.
All bees make honey while they sing.

Sweet tea makes imagination fly.
A fly might land on the fern.
A flag will fly as long as it's tied.
When the bee flies into the butter, then the butterflies away.
