Before Spilling the Tea, Uplift Me
Spilling the tea requires no skill It's just gossip at its best Before you take me on this downward hill Let me kick back and rest The tea is a slippery slope I can drink it black, herbal or with milk After it goes down my throat, I'm able to cope With the trolls and their ilk Tea is supposed to relax and soothe Use it to uplift the spirit and drown out the ugly It's not meant to browbeat and bruise Sip, sit back, kick up the heels and get snugly Before spilling the tea, uplift me ---O'Nika McGill---
