<br />
<b>The Tea Blag's TTNBC:</b><br />
<br />
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the spot<br />
Not a cup was I stirring, not even FRESH POTS.<br />
The teabags were hung, but nobody cared,<br />
Since there was only but Lipton in there.<br />
<br />
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
While visions of fat chicks danced in their heads.<br />
And Tea_Pain in his third steep, and I in my fifth,<br />
Had just racked our brains over this shit.<br />
<br />
When out in the mail there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from my mic to see what's the matter.<br />
Away to the lobby I flew like a flash,<br />
Tore open the package and threw up the stash.<br />
<br />
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen chick<br />
From Thirsty Thursday She asked for my--<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
But a miniature teapot, and a eight tea samp-leer.<br />
<br />
With a little old green tea, so grassy and meh,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be totes gay.<br />
More boring than than Lipton, first course was tame,<br />
But then I looked and saw all these by name!<br />
<br />
"Now Joy! now, Boston! now, Element and Canton!<br />
On, Butiki! On, Rishi! on Chicago Tea Garden!<br />
To the top of my box! to the top it was stuffed!<br />
Now brew that shit! Brew that shit! Brew that shit up!"<br />
<br />
As dry leaves that before the tea come,<br />
When they meet with a force: Beasts of Brewdom.<br />
So up to the pad, with box in my arm,<br />
Tea_Pain looked over at me with a look full of smarm.<br />
<br />
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the stove<br />
The whistling and screeching of some boiling hot.<br />
As I steep in the tea, and was brewing a pound,<br />
Down the staircase Adam came with a bound.<br />
<br />
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,<br />
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.<br />
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,<br />
And he looked like a pedophile, out for a snack.<br />
<br />
His eyes-how they twinkled! how happy his jowl!<br />
His badgers smelled roses, his nose smelled the PAO!<br />
The tea was now brown, and smelled like dank weed,<br />
And my hairy nose started smelling his mead.<br />
<br />
We then saw the lapsang in our new batch of tea,<br />
And adding some gin made the smoke taste sweet.<br />
We got fucking drunk, Used Car Smell Part II,<br />
Then made some Teaception, BWOOOOOOOON!<br />
<br />
We went on our Twitter and trolled for a few,<br />
Apparently nobody's on at 3 except Jews!<br />
I wondered if Adam ever got with that chick,<br />
They went to Dobra, heard she wanted the dick.<br />
------------------<br />
Adam, how'd you fuck that up?<br />
-------------------<br />
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br />
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.<br />
And laying his finger aside of his nose,<br />
And giving a nod, up the stairs he rose!<br />
<br />
We finished the last steep, to our sponsors, we tasted,<br />
Fucking motherfucker I'm so caffeinated.<br />
Good thing we recorded this or else "fucked" we would be<br />
"Happy Christmas to all, and Give us more fucking tea!"<br />
