Ode to Coffee

How do I love thee? Let me count and see...
Hot, cold, early, late, just so-so, or first rate,
Cappuccino, frapaccino,
Chocolate covered coffee beano,
As I’m sure it’s plain to see, java love has got to me.

So fond am I of my other joe,
My passion I cannot espresso,
This on thing I just must say,
I love coffee a latte.

So swig, swallow, swill and sip,
Go fill your cup and take a nip.
Gulp, guzzle, chug-a-lug,
Hit the bottle, uh, your mug.


Dedicated to Chris who told me I need to write poetry. Unfortunately, the only kind I am able to write (or want to) is not serious but silly! Also for my coworkers, Amy and Charlotte who still may one day enjoy coffee when they grow up!
