A Sadness Defeater


That first cup of coffee, what could be sweeter It's starts the day right, it's a sadness defeater We wake up all groggy and stumble over things Into walls and doorways, to a table we cling Lucky if we make it to the kitchen in one piece Hopefully we won't get splattered with grease While cooking up bacon and eggs and some taters I'm wondering the cost of a live-in cook and baker Okay back to the brew that revives us once more Without it we're zombies with bumps galore If the girls at the office could see us like this There'd be no more begging for a passionate kiss Pretend not to see me, avoid me like the plague They'd make up excuses no matter how vague So you see the importance of our morning brew It starts the day off with a bright howdy do That first cup of coffee, what could be sweeter It's yummy in the tummy and a sadness defeater

Dear Jack, YES! another humorous yet relatable picture of the morning struggle and the transformative power of that first cup of coffee. It's delightful how something as simple as a morning ritual can lift our spirits and set the tone for the day ahead. Your playful language and scenes capture the essence of the daily grind with wit and charm. What a lighthearted ode to the joys of caffeine! - Blessings, Daniel
