Two sisters fall out over nothing more than a taste for coffee versus tea, a small, funny squabble told in four tidy lines.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

Molly, my sister and I fell out,
And what do you think it was all about?
She loved coffee and I loved tea,
And that was the reason we couldn't agree.
