More Apple Tea
When you are traveling
You drink apple tea
Chase Istanbul pigeons
And face the Marmara Sea
On Grand Bazaar children
You lavish hugs and kisses
"Teh-ka" is your thank you
For Turkish delights so delicious
You are the dervish
Whose whirls capture our hearts
"Shhh... Baby sleeping in the bed"
Just as the Sufi music starts
Asking "Where'd kitty go?"
Over the Bosphorous you ride
From Europe to Asia
Eating cimiks on the deck outside
With almost nine little fingers
And ten little toes
Strawberry hands at Sultanahmet Mosque
Attract a carriage horse's nose
"Look! Barbie on holiday!"
We hear walking down the street
As you wave to every tram
And find clementines to eat
But nothing is sweeter
Than your plea for more apple tea
"More please, more please
And Cheers - Mommy, Daddy!"
