The meaning of the name 'Feodor' is 'divine gift', I believe and there are many 'Feodors' amongst us.

Good morning everyone. As the saying goes 'drink coffee, you can sleep when you are dead.

Coffee Addiction Calibrating coffee homeostasis flows easily back and forth On the ‘high’-way of instant craze and crave of gratification 'Feodor' true to his name slurps the divine gift all day to rise From moody withdrawal of night slumber slumping aground Energetic vigour and buoyant exuberance alights from Exhaustion brought on by life and pulsating caffeine’s fix Abortive attempts to reduce hooked intake accrued no success Doomed at one time and in lack of hot water 'Feodor' even Dissolved coffee in Cola to feed effervescent dependence Imbalanced the mixture blew up but nourished his need Caressed by foam on his face he confronted his addiction To vow not to drink less tropical grind but have water In sufficient vital supplies at all times to keep well afloat On balance his highs derived from his beverage of choice Navigate his depression much better than Cocaine or booze 30th November
