Green Tea

I used to snack on

mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Any brand, any texture, from any store.

It was all the same: fairly dull, sometimes sweet,

and always made me feel a little sick later.

Then I found green tea.

It took a while before I was given permission

to drink;

But once I did I was hooked

Like a soda-addict, or a chipaholic;

I no longer wanted mint chocolate chip

I have green tea.
