Tea So Blue

"Well I've never sipped tea that was blue!"
Cried Clementine the cow to Pig with a moo,
"Do you sip it? Eat it? Drink it? Or chew?
Please tell me, please, Pig will you?"
"I don't know how," Pig oinked in reply,
"I've never seen tea the colour of the sky!"
Clementine the cow let out a long sigh,
Pig then said, "just give it a try!"
Clementine the cow put her mouth to the tea,
She slurped long and hard then shouted with glee,
"Well it tastes of lemon grass with a hint blueberry!
I can't believe I tried it, I'm so glad, whoopee!"
"Good job Clementine the cow, you tried something new!"
"Yes, I now know you slurp it, don't eat it or chew!
And Pig you helped me, it's all thanks to you,
I now know what it's like to drink tea that is blue!"
