An Ode To Coffee

[Written with Jeff’s ‘Ode’ contest in mind, but missed that boat… should’ve had more caffeine!] * We met; I was smitten, my lips almost purred I’m sure that encounter had left you quite stirred And I knew right then it was you I adored And my love for you was forever assured For you are the reason I get out of bed You are the first daily thought in my head Life without you is a thought filled with dread Your warmth clears my mind leaving me in good stead Whenever I see you I just drink you in For I worship you more than I worship gin You're steamy, full bodied and frosty you're not For you are my coffee and Baby, you’re hot!

It's just as well Terry. He is obviously not a coffee drinker. LOL I love your ode to coffee. I share your addiction:)

Thanks, Daniel. Wouldn't wanna go without my morning coffee, not for all the tea in China.
