THE PEE ALARM CLOCK

My apartment mate is singing the praises of the pee alarm clock. It is totally infallible, and miraculous. It gets a body up in time to face the rigors of the new day. While I think that it's a bizarre basis for lyric and hymn-singing, I can't say that I disagree. At all.
It's the best reason to get up at the very crack of dawn.

It was probably invented by the ancient Chinese millenia ago. And very likely what allowed them to repell the savage Turkic tribes on the other side of the wall.
Based entirely on consumption of tea.

Tea has been the spur of many innovations throughout history.
Mechanical, artistic, and philosophical.
Plus Dr. Johnson's dictionary.

She does not drink as much tea as I do, but she starts her day with tea, whereas I start mine with coffee and a pipeful. That last necessitates a walk around the neighborhood, seeing as I cannot smoke indoors. Which means that I'm doing something healthy while smoking.

I will swill several cups of tea during my work day, in consequence of which I am both a poet and a ruddy genius, besides being wired to the tits and well-hydrated.

Evenso, I am certainly not the equal of Doctor Johnson.
Who had well over a dozen cups a day.
A hardened addict.
