Girls are like tea leaves...
Tea leaves from Japan, Cameron Highlands, India,China....
A flavour for every season, take your pick - apple, strawberry or kiwi
Or chamomoile , mint, earl grey,
Tea leaves are packaged in every pack you can imagine
It has a shelf life and an expiry date
Once taken, you can only boil it once
When the flavour is released, tea leaves are worthless
It is up to the teapot to discard it and get a new pack of tea leaves!
Boys are like teapots
Only the best teapots will be able to blend with the best tea leaves
Metal teapots dont make tea as well as ceramic teapots
But ceramics are expensive and hard to come by
Some tea leaves prefer ceramic ; others prefer metal pots
thats why you have to decide if you want to have in your teapot
If you want apple tea, you can be just a metal teapot
But if you want to cook a pot of great Earl Grey , u'll just have to upgrade yourself and be a ceramic.
But being a teapot is better than being the tea leaf
At least teapots have no expiry date
The longer the teapot is made, the higher the value of it
The tea leaf , on the other hand, decreases in value as the years go by
Quite saddening ....
u missed green tea!
ReplyDeleteAt least Tea leaves won't get shattered when it is being drop to the floor. No matter what type of teapots you own, if the tea leaves doesn't like to be inside the teapot and want to get out from it, the teapot will have to let it go. Teapot might look strong and cold in the outside, but it is warm and weak in the inner; wanting the warmth of the tea leaves.
ReplyDeleteGreen tea also tea leaf lar!
ReplyDeleteBut teapots also can throw away tealeaves as and when they wish... isnt it sad?? :(:( It's vice versa.
ReplyDeleteYea... if I'm not a tea leaf , I'll be wine.Wine age with grace , and its flavour grows with time.God , please turn me into wine , hahhaa...
