Scalding hot coffee or steaming tea which won me

Scalding hot Coffee or steaming tea which won me?

Neither.

I m no coffee cat, tea cat

I drink yet these I can live without

For countless morning coffee or tea is a must

At home limit myself to one or two cups of tea

Coffee I have forgotten for use at home

Yet when i travel I drink coffee and tea

Just to time pass or warm up

Is these Coffee, tea good or bad?

Both are good and bad health wise

Both have caffeine not good for health

Coffee tea both may have pesticides

Yet both have anti oxidants coffee has

Vitamins and minerals too

On chilly places I found coffee

More warmer than tea

Chilly places are where I take more tea coffee

To counter the chillness,  to warm up

The usage of the terms tea, coffee

Has led to use of the same in other beverages too

Like ginger, with ginger drink being called ginger tea

or ginger coffee though no way connected with tea or coffee

Just the usage of the terms is sausage!

Though they might not have won over me

They have won over the whole lots of earthlings

They simply can’t live without coffee, tea

Coffee, tea well entrenched in their lives

Coffee tea shops as pass time, sabaash time shops!

Scalding hot coffee, or tea choose your pick

Or choose not any of them it’s your tick!
