by The Nonsense Chronicler Pink Flamingo I boiled the moon in a kettle of brass,   With a whisper of thunder and a pinch of sass.   The teabag danced like a drowsy gazelle,   While the sugar cubes sang of a caramel spell. I stirred with a wand made of celery root,   And added a sock for a hint of galoot.   The steam rose up in a spiral of dreams,   Smelling faintly of pickles and tambourine screams. The cup was a hat from a duchess’s toe,   The saucer a frisbee last seen in Bordeaux.   I sipped with a slurp and a hiccup of grace,   Then rode a hot biscuit to outermost space. Oh tea, thou tempest in porcelain guise,   You tickle my brain and befuddle my eyes.   So next time you brew, don’t settle for bland Invite a flamingo, and stir with your hand.

Set in the Peruvian Andes on La Camino Inca (Inca Trail) to Machu Picchu High in the Andes, where condors glide,   And Machu Picchu dreams on the mountainside,   Four beasts in kurta, bold and true,   Climbed through clouds in a quest for brew. 🐅 Tiger on tabla, with princely grace,   Tapped rhythms that echoed through sacred space.   His turban caught the morning sun,   As he beat the path where myths still run. 🦊 Fox on harmonica, sly and keen,   Blew tunes that shimmered in Incan sheen.   Each note a whisper, each breath a guide,   Through terraces lost and temples wide. 🐓 Rooster on resonator, strumming fire,   Played riffs that made the stone walls inspire.   His blues rang out through the citadel,   Waking spirits with a sonic spell. 🐻 Bear on bass, sunglasses firm,   Dropped grooves that made the llamas squirm.   His thump was thunder, hi...

The flamingo approached it with the reverence of a librarian discovering jazz. One sip—and the universe hiccupped. - ☕ Aroma: Like a jazz funeral held in a cinnamon forest.   - ☕ Taste: Bold. Brazen.

When you get a round of drinks for your band. And you remember one of the guys doesn't drink. Miku the Bard Tiger, tiger burning bright With a jug of beer you'd never sight, Perhaps that's behind his might, Keeping his roar a noble right. He roars aloud in the night, His cup of tea gives many a fright, Yet, with beer, you'd never sight, Our tiger burning bright. Full story index blog-story-category-index
