Little Tea Pot

The little tea pot was sad. It was summer and everyone switched to iced tea. No one cared about him.
Long, boring days ensued. He tried engaging with the blender, the toaster, and the micro, but they had their own thing going.
Looking out the window, he saw a barbecue with wine, soda, beer, and seltzer, besides the ice tea. Snapple to be exact. What happens to the insides of a neglected tea pot? It becomes cold and bitter and not very tasty. So in October when you return to hot tea your first few cups taste awful. Hard to swallow like abandoning an old friend in warm weather.
That quiet whining coming from the cabinet? Forgotten tea bags.
