A foggy brain, an empty pot, and a rhyme‑stumbling ode to the world’s most necessary bean
Hi all.
I woke up too early
My head in a fog
I slipped out of bed
And stepped on the dog
Coffee I cried
Coffee I need
I walked to the kitchen
To do the good deed

Fill it with water
Fill it with grounds
Turn on the pot
And watch it go round
Except nothing happened
I sat there confused
Not a drip nor a drop
I was hardly amused
What is this, I cried?
Until I did spy
The pot it was empty
The filter was dry
No water, no grounds
No think, no drink
It’s a terrible thing
And boy, does it stink
You figure this prose
Is easy as pie?
But coffeeless brains
Just sit there and cry
So, if this ditty
Ain’t very pretty
Blame it on coffee
And please give me pity.
Stay well all…and pour me a cup. Quickly. Before I start poeting again.
