• The Right & Wrong

  

  making tea, fiddley-dee, the right way or

  the wrongest way possibly; let’s choose your way.

  let it begin with desire of a slaked thirst

  ahh bullshit harmony metaphyisical

  or catch me stylishly showin’ of the goods

  whatever you pleasure, we’ve to make it

   

  pleasure’s the point; style’s judged opinion

  thus there is – a right way – and a wrong way

  your supportive  cheers or ‘done-wrong’ damnation

  there’s more than one way to skin kitty cat

  and at it’s heart we’re talking tea, were we not?

  pot or vessel right? water hot, add leaves.

   

  Adams in The Salmon of Doubt said the right way’s

  isn’t so much the action, but attitude

  not ceremony but of a science

  it’s simply done with care not boasted about

  so to-night it’s iced tea pleasures I sip

  warmed me bowl & tea water, iced cup, brew in.

     I’m pretty sure that I know how to make a proper cup of tea and I’m pretty sure I ruined it wrongly with saying it wasn’t presented in a pretty way.  the point here was more to try to keep a speaking idiom of mine- to try and see if this reads as if it makes any sense at all yet to a beat.    Maybe i succeed, Maybe i succeed and the subject suck…glug glug, yeah  whatever big deal oo a poem on tea….  maybe i fail it doesn’t make sense yay you all can tell i’m excited about something unclear and  whatever…  maybe you’ll get the searing logic and style that I believe it’s fine to be excited- i was enough to try to talk in the first place…thus defeating the whole point Adams had when hewrote an essay on how to make tea the right way- I am sure no one can miss that this is one in a plastic to go cup …the wrong way so very me this moment…  and thus hmn. we’ll see what you’ve to say.
