Coffee

You need a cup of coffee Just to start your day Or just to settle down your nerves When something goes astray. Friends might meet just to chat Over a cup of “Joe”. Yes coffee can make a difference In more ways than you know. When introduced to someone You’d like to get to know “Can I buy you a cup of coffee” Might be the way to go. On a long and tedious driving trip When the road starts closing in You stop for refreshing coffee Then you’re on your way again. When you go for an appointment Ah but you have to wait - alas Have a cup of coffee To help the time to pass. Yes coffee’s an unsung hero Here in the USA It’s almost like an icon What more is there to say?

I am hooked on Tim Hortons coffee, if I do not have at least one per day, well it is not pretty~~ anyways as the soup mail is not working.. I will say it here.. for my contest, you needed to contact me on one of my poems you want to use as inspiration.. and say this is my theme... and you have to write a new poem .. not use one from your collection.. perhaps I did not explain it well on the contest description.. I also have a blog.. thanks for entering.. you have plenty of time to fix ~~
