UniTea

To be is to be.

To be free from contaminated sea

To unlock the truth with the forbidden key

To agree to disagree

To rid humanity of the design of fee

To breathe in more clear from our sacred tree

As we come together—and praise on not just one knee

To not just walk on water but to ski

For he is me and me is he

Never taking more than we need from the honey bee

To look around and really open our eyes to see

For is tea what disrupted unity?

Or the broken brie begging for three

For she must plea for infinite shopping, a spree

The other, though, artsy, left in debris

Stuck with thy own thee, the degree

Then turned into a deportee, an abductee, an honoree oversea

Gluten-free, begging for the freshness of potpourri

Amongst the chaos mistaking words for si

Clearing our minds with tai chi

Resisting the sugar in nestle

To sightsee and forsee

Magee step down from Mcauley

But then there was whoopee conducting the grand prix

Against Vicki and the real Barbie

Settle the scores

Shave your goatees

Think about oregano, thyme, and rosemary

And gurantee, to be free, the Mountie, it’s time to commence unity,

For that’s what said the grand referee

Tis there once was a better jubilee under the sea

To remember the truth is to ignite glee for all of thee
