April 7th Coffee Poems

April 6 Coffee Love Hate Affair I love coffee Always have Always will But I have a love-hate affair With coffee Love it when it gets me up Flying high in the sky As the sun comes over Filling with hope And anticipation As I conquer the day’s Daunting tasks With a little help From my drug of choice But coffee turns on me Late in the day And I can’t sleep just can't sleep As the coffee burns In my soul And I toss and turn And sleep no more Coffee does that to me And so, I am reduced To drinking decafe coffee Not the same thing at all But that is all I can handle As I am a coffee addict And always will be April 6 Coffee Blues Coffee is my drug of choice Always has been Ever since I first tried As a young lad Loved coffee’s power To speed up my synaptic nerves Turning me on Keeping me going and going and going But there is a dark side to everything And coffee is a drug And it will take you Where it wants to go Enslaving you Making you its victim As it toys with you Messes with you Prevents you from sleeping Coffee is a harsh mistress It demands respect As you fall under it seductive powers Slave again To the drug of choice Just another over-caffeinated Coffee addict Stumbling along the street Looking for a fix At six in the morning As the coffee wears off And you finally Can get some sleep Until the alarm Blasts you away And you reach out Trembling for you fix Coffee you scream out I need coffee The universe laughs As you get your coffee high Just another pathetic coffee junkie When all is said and done
