A Peppermint tea house on a minty green street
a hip little tea house where everyone meets
A cute little door leads to a pink little table
where short pudgy women serve soup with a ladle
The hot cups of tea are poured from a bowl
which rises from the floor through a strange little hole
Where tiny yellow men crawl out of the dark
and order up chowder on a whim and a lark
The Peppermint tea house is oh quite the rave
It’s coming to Berkeley and then to Del Rey
So come early for soup and tea if you’re able
I’ll reserve you a spot at the pink little table
The Peppermint Tea House! Oh how I love this, Kim. You really know how to please a California girl from Berkeley. So hip. So hip, indeed!

Wait. Did you just add "San Francisco" to your playlist??? That's like, another one of Sam's all-time favorite songs!! In fact, I was JUST listening to that song two days ago, at the coffee house, from my iphone...are you reading my mind, Kim? You're so awesomely cool.

Um yeah. It's me again. This is like the sixth or seventh time I've read Peppermint Tea House. It kinda reminds me of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory...only, better. Hearing "San Francisco" while I read Peppermint Tea House just tickles me. I am definitely bringing the kids! Can't thank you enough, Kim. You make me smile.

I'm glad it's you again. I wrote it for your kids Sam. It's just a small gift to them, and it means alot that you like it.
