The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Gallon of Coffee

The hours tick off
    I know every one

  Familiar their chimes
    until the day dawns...
   
  Crawl out of bed in the morning
    though not 'good as new'
  A gallon of coffee ~
    may yet see me through

I've thought that before too, only to find that I spend the rest of the day in the loo. LOL :)

Do you drink it out of the jug? I started putting it in my truck. It's old like you and needs the caffeine. LOL
