Teas: a Demi-tasse (A thru M)

     Breathe 
scant more cheerful, few'r as quick, 
none readier than me: 
     I eat fast 
food (who'd not ♥ Happy Meals!). 
I sip Alakra Tea.

     Art's 
Sandwich Shoppe...? I'd best not stop: 
no breakfast break for me. 
     Just 
shortcakes -- two -- wash'd down with 
demi-tasse of Brevah Tea.

     Ma's 
off her nut. Don't scoff: we but 
agree to disagree. 
     There is no 
reason why we two can't try 
lukewarm Çevilla Tea.

     The 
bitch what's in my kitchenette 
(a banjo on her knee): 
     she lip-syncs 
"Dinah," scarfing Dinah's s'mores* 
and downing Dinah's Tea.
     * Some mss show 'dinosaurs'; some, 
'Dinah's sores.' (One 'Dinah Shores.') Does 
each reveal a different but no less true 
nonsensiosity...? Of course, of course.

     Trade 
unions fought. 'Twas dearly bought, 
the tea-break...and the pee-. 
     ‘Taint 
wrong to ask, "How long a task 
to steep Etournah Tea...?"

     Steel'd 
rush-week frats wield cricket bats 
with such sadistic glee, 
     then ask which 
brother dumps how many lumps 
in whose Fra Turna Tea...?

     "Do 
bowels not move...? Brew Grahva, love," 
growls Arthur G to me. 
     Its 
pow'r's for real. Just drink: you'll feel 
the force of Grahva Tea.

     The 
joke about the priest, the rabbi 
and the manatee 
     is printed 
on each bag -- to view each time 
you brew  "Heil, Herr!” A Tea.

     Half-
lives of crime, from time to time, 
may've led to Reading G.* 
     What 
lands Brit pricks -- bang! -- in their nicks...? 
The kick...in Iqua Tea. 
     Be 
Jon** some modish son of god, 
some neo-deity...? 
     His drinkin's 
pass'd the stinkin' stage: 
wa-a-a-a-ay too much Jove E. Allah Tea.
     * Reading Gaol, the period Brit nick.
     ** Jon Bon Jove E Allah, perhaps...?

     Doin' 
martial sports of sundry sorts, 
I soak my judo gi – 
     when 
hot, with puce ju-jitsu juice; 
when not, with Karr (hot!) Tea.
     'Tweren't 
no black buyers, 'cepting Myers,* 
in that CDP.** 
     The 
Levitt shack...? She took it black: 
both town and Levitt Tea.
     * Daisy Myers, hailed as "The Rosa Parks of the 
North," in 1957 became Levittown, PA's first African-
American family when she and her husband purchased 
a home not from Levitt & Sons, who refused to 
sell to African Americans, but from a European-
American family who already owned a home there. 
     ** Census-designated place -- Levittown is 
one such.

     Thom's 
Magic Mount's no tragic fount -- 
unless Hans Castorp's spree 
     does 
symbolize the reckless rise 
of Herr Männ's Straße Tea.
