so, i’m not yer cuppa tea
Am I not your cup of tea?
I may not be
your cup of tea
but I am your
bottle of rum --
most definitely...
so ease up that grip:
Stop strangling my neck.
Let My liquid conflagration
scorch your lying condescension
again and again and again.... without fail.
If you but remember to be true
to what lurks deep within you
I will assail your doubts
And numb their fight,
Send insanity to flight.
No, I am not your cup of tea!
- - - - - - - - - -
And more's the better for me!
to be taken with a grain of salt,
although it isn't tequila...,
no slice of lemon required...
