It is gold
It is old
Hard to hold
We are told.

Some buy it
Some make it
Some keep it
Some serve it.

It passes by
It does fly
Does not cry
Will not die.

Prinesca May 25, 2010	Just a question, why is named Coffee or Tea?
dani4w45t May 25, 2010	I got it pretty easily but the title threw me off. Were you trying to hint: "coffee time" or "tea time"? But if so, why the question mark?
Marple May 25, 2010	I got it straight away - the title was a good red herring. I like the whole thing. Well done
griphook May 27, 2010	right. was coffee or tea time

legotboy Jul 05, 2010	I think was not thought out very well, duh time doesn't cry or die. I mean, those have nothing to do with time.
