Found (more) Poetry

This is my second attempt to find poetry. This time, I used the back of a box of tea bags. Here was the original:

A splendid cup of Tazo tea
How to make one

1.Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil
2For hot tea, place one Tazo filter bag in your cup, mug or gourd
3.Pour 8 fluid ounces of water over the filter bag
4. Steep for 5 minutes while contemplating your favorite eternal mysteries.

If it's iced tea you desire, use two filter bags, steep normally, then pour over ice.

And I kid you not, that fourth step is what it actually says.




So here is my "poetic" version:

Fresh, splendid tea
8 ounces to contemplate eternal mysteries
In a mug, In a gourd
Pour 8 ounces to contemplate eternal desire

Boil, steep, pour
Two filter bags to contemplate eternal mysteries
In a cup, in a mug, then in a gourd
5 minutes to pour over eternal desire

Iced or hot
While normally contemplating filtered mysteries.
Pour, Pour, Pour.
