Ode To Coffee

Oh coffee.

You stain my teeth

and coat my tongue

and I didn’t like you

when I was young

but now I crave you

every morning

I became addicted

without warning

to coffee.

Oh coffee.

Hot and steamy

from the carafe

sweet and creamy

with half and half

my morning nectar

in a paper cup

you serve me well

you wake me up

Oh coffee.
