Poem #5 - Pro-Coffee

Coffee is a beverage,
Which keeps me awake,
Especially when I am tired or bored
And sleep is all I can take.

Coffee feels great in my blood stream,
It peps me up,
And allows me to dream,
Without falling into a slumber deep,
Wihout my eyes falling shut asleep.

My favorite flavors are Colombian and hazelnut,
And when I take a sip,
Made by that coffee maker drip,
I realize that I need it,
And it needs me,
It is so much better than
black, white or green tea.

The Ethiopians invented coffee,
For all the world to see,
A wonderful invention,
Deserving wonderful praise,
As fewer people are walking in a haze.

Yes, I drink two to three cups everyday,
To keep my temperament in control and at bay,
It has become a part of my ritual,
To keep my body filled with this type of fuel.

Some people say,
Caffeine is bad and to stop drinking,
But I say,
"What are you thinking?"

Be it a Starbucks,
Or a Dunkin Donuts,
I am all for coffee shops,
Forever,
Or at least as long as the ticking
of the clock never stops.

The End
