Welcome to My Poetry Site
On National Coffee Day 2015
Did you happen to know, by the way,
That it's National Coffee Day?
Would you stand in a queue for
Your favorite brew or
Espresso or café au lait?
Are you strung out on caffeine?
Do you find decaf obscene?
Have you barely survived
When you've been deprived
Of your coffee? Admit it! Come clean!
As much as we try to expound
That the merits of coffee abound,
It still makes us nervous
When people serve us
Instant and not freshly ground.
I admit I'm a coffee fanatic.
But let me not be too dogmatic.
Though sometimes it's true
That tea time will do,
It's coffee that makes me ecstatic.
How different our world would be
Without the dear coffee tree!
We'd be in a bind,
For then we would find
We'd ALL be stuck drinking tea!
