Active delights of the orange evergreen

Citrus curdles with curling leafs

Universally an utmost English classic

Pleasant in presence

Original bergamot overwhelms the

Fight against anxiety

Eagerly paints an

Amber sunset within a cup

Righteous as the loving

Legend of a Chinese Mandarin

Gentle: Earl Grey is a blue cornflower

Radiant: Earl Grey is an ebony emperor

Earnest: Earl Grey is a scarlet scholar

Youthful: Earl Grey is a golden god

All the love you could ever hope for

Condensed in a country mansion

Universally adored

Perhaps we should rob a rank and get it

Of course, what a splendid idea.

For we could sip Earl Grey tea all day.

Ernest, that’s too evil, we should

All work hard and

Reach our goals honestly using all our

Love.

Glorious weather out there,

Right now, makes a change.

Earl’s been complaining about the rain.

You can’t do anything about it.
