Teetotaling Totalitarian

Adolf Hitler had a ball,
yet paused, halfway, to brew some tea
(though German beer is best of all,
and works to set one free).

Herr Hitler blinked. His reign of power
was snatched by Yankee/Allied hands
The weakest brew now had its hour—
for tea will do when tea commands.

Dumb-ass Haiku verse
always counting syllables…

    Rumor – or rumour – suggests that the British Empire of tea-sippers had something to do with all that.
