I don't. My first grade teacher liked to sing that song, and it baffled me. My parents drank coffee made in a percolator, so tea was a complete mystery to me. Now if someone had written a ditty about the burbling of the percolator, it would have touched my soul.

Now that I'm older and have much more education, I realize that "I'm a Little Teapot" conflates the teapot, which serves tea, and the teakettle, which boils water and whistles.

Congress ought to look into this because it violates The No Child Left Mystified Act.
