Spot of Tea to Erase Reality

A man

He stands

His hair in stringy strands

His laughter is mad

Intentions are not bad

He offers me a treat

Most enticing and sweet

A slip through the lips

And then I take a sip

Of a sweet tea elixir

Sure to do the trick

My fear, it fades

For laughter it trades

Someone's worried about the time

As he speaks riddles and rhymes

His giggles are contagious

Mine become outrageous

He asks questions so silly

And I can't answer, really

I'm gasping for air

Along with our friend the hare

The time has passed so quickly

Now I'm feeling rather sickly

As laughter fades away

Reality rises as the break of day
