Coffee House

I cannot quite begin the day Without my morning cup; Until I take that first quick sip, I’m not completely up. Ironically, in my routine, My coffee isn’t first. I read and exercise before I slake that caffeine thirst. I brew my java in a pot, Old-fashioned, on the stove. It percolates and soon aromas Waft that it has wove. I like my coffee steaming hot; I also drink it black. And when I’m out, if it is not, I’ll always send it back. If ever I’m deprived of A.M. coffee, heed my warning: You’ll like me so much better If I’ve coffee’d in the morning.

Ilene, YOU ADDICT!!! hahahah....You should attend the caffeine addiction group with me on Friday nights...just bring decaf with you...they are on a shoestring budget! JK!...It's true that it curbs my headaches...and I agree with Robt's comments that it leaves you low later in the day...One cup is just not enough....that's all I'll say! Wonderful "caffeininzing" write! Love, Gwendolen

Caffeine may pick you up first thing in the morning, but it will lay you down later on in the day. If I go without coffee and certain soft drinks for a period of time, I start to get headaches. Nice poem Ilene.

I've never liked coffee, but I would gladly drink a cola slurpee every morning if I could and it didn't have so many darn calories! Instead, I settle for koolaid. anyway, it's neat that you don't use a coffee maker - does it actually taste better the old fashioned way? maybe i should try it, lol :)

From your description, you must've written this well written poem over a big hot cup! Good luck in the contest... Terry
