without disrupting the poem, after all, the original tenant left and someone new has moved in... adding a pr.s. (pre-scriptum / prologue, but not quite, since the praxis of this sort of phrasing is attache in nature), the revised size of a cup that became a mug invokes the following revision: it's still 50ml of milk, but the amount of brew is - 200ml - i lied though, i added an acute iota... and the: must we? surely there are some aesthetic observations worthwhile to be made, like the doubling of letters, the english answer to missing diacritical applicability, ever present, as if god... spleen morbidity, you can obviously replace the ee bit with an iota acute, but would it look ugly? most certainly... but not asking for etymological uprooting of a rooting of a foreign word, akin to shísha... otherwise you'd include the near-proximity of a Y with that automated diacritical mention on the iota... dot what? dr. dotwhat? quack?! then you get cackling of a magpie, what next? a crying hyena?! if no letter follows the last, you can actually pin-point an i with an iota grave... and all i have is a stick and a stone to work my entry into applying diacritical marks in particular instances available, which, as a language, is a inferno in paradiso for a pedant... a dot on the iota and a dot on the be-jesus that's a massive tarantula! that's i have: entry point via i... exit point via j-j-jaded! ah man, that aerosmith gig in hyde park, two girls by my side, joint in hand... the fun of the fun times when some things were still funny; and i lied because i also added the grave iota... which resembles a quick-snap merging of mono-syllable words, otherwise represented akin to this (with iota having its "head" ******* on): cha'i.

the notion that mixing milk with *chaì

is an english invention is simply wrong,
there is another nation of people
who are adamant tea drinkers,
namely the russians...
                     frequently mention
in dostoevsky's novels: the samovar -
which is equivalent to a shísha pipe
of the middle east
(can't we just have the acute i?
it's pretty much the same as p p ee)...
  what do the english have? a kettle.
ah ****, i forgot about the green tea
drinkers, the chinese and the japanese...
never mind,
  but i forgot because... the english are
not the only ones who add milk to their
black tea...
               in siberia they do likewise...
it was never just an english "thing" -
in poland they call adding milk to tea
a vabarka - intended to intimidate
like ordering cranberry juice in an irish
pub...
      i.e. the question: you lactating
or something?
             - and yes (and doubly yes,
you can begin a sentence with a conjunction
if it's predicated with a hyphen) -
    the best tea in england comes
from yorkshire...
       yorkshire tea is the only tea to drink...
and i found out the secret
for the best tea...
    like a bartender in a bar,
i took out the measuring tool,
   50ml on top, 25ml below...
                 the ideal amount of
milk...
             50ml of milk to 186ml of brew...
put a 9 in between the 1 and the 8
and you'd get the year of my birth...
and hey presto! toasted wheat colour,
just the sort of thing worth drinking...
maybe i was misinformed,
but i heard that americans only drink
ice tea, and are more into their coffee,
am i right?
               nothing beats the oozing
warmth from yorkshire tea
with milk...
             almost like ******* on
werther's original candy...
                   liquidated, ready to be slurped
up by pensioners...
                 with subtle hints of
'erbs...
                       so no, the english are
not the only people to drink black tea
with milk... the siberians also take to drinking
it that way...
    and given that the english are popular
for doing so, i suspect the siberians were
the first to adapt the practice...
the loudest gobs are always the ones
to nullify the pioneers...
   like christopher columbus comapred
with leif eriksson.
