Coffeene

Coffee, I adore thee, somehow you never bore me. Bold and dark or mild and smooth, you get me up and on the move. In warm embrace or cool frappe, mocha, french roast, or tall latte, crema, sospeso or con panna, you never fail to make my day. It’s the best thing ever manufactured, without it, my mind is slow and scattered, for a quiz or formulating I’d be knackered, every morning the Keurig is where we gather. You pick me up and keep me keen, in complementing any cuisine, by delivering a dose of sweet caffeine, you are the original magic bean. In doses quick or lingered over, on mornings with a hangover, I reach for you, your warm embrace, the morning fogginess to erase. The flavor, the scent, which is the best? They are of compound Interest. French press or espresso - take your pick - they all provide that delicious kick. Jitter juice, rocket fuel, cup of joe, cuppa, morning brew or ristretto, your flavors please, your scent rouses, a coffee shop is where the crowd is. In slang they call it Mormon-crack, but sugared up or with a snack, with creamy art or straight-up black once I’ve got it, you won’t get it back . . Webster: Knackered = “very tired or exhausted.”
