Essay: "Loyalty"

by Michael Pace
Loyal Tea: Ingredients: 1 pinch fidelity 2 tsp. pure devotion 1 oz. unadulterated faithfulness 2 quarts steadfast allegiance Cooking Instructions: Seethe to just below boiling point. Then steep to constancy desired. Serve: Hot or Cold. Always serve the first cup to yourself. If you can not drink it no one else wants it. Note: Loyal Tea should not be shared with all and sundry. It is a precious commodity and more valuable if given grudgingly. Still, it must be given in order to receive. So given to those you love and trust, but never serve with Haste. This is an old family recipe I stole from some Old Family.
