~ Birthday Greetings From Boston~



I have scrapped the bottom of
the rocky sea,
To bring you only the finest of
tea,
You see,you see,
many years ago Britain wanted
to tax the tea,
So overboard in Boston the tea
did go,
So I swam to the spot and
dove way down,
Pulled up a cask,
And smuggled it home,
I have brewed it and added
two lumps of sugar and a
tinge of cream,
And brought it to you for
a special Birthday treat.

Author notes

Have a wonderful Birthday and thanks for the inspiration for this one I could not resist.
