Notes About The Poem

Just for fun

Better Than Coffee

Microwave a mug of water with 
        A bag of Orange Spice herb tea ...
	Long enough to make it hot,

	But not burn your tongue – about 85 seconds.

	Toss the tea bag and stir in two packets of Stevia, then
	Choose today’s cocoa and measure out two rounded teaspoons.

Will it be Hershey’s,
Hershey’s Special Dark,
Trader Joe’s,
	Or something more exotic?   
                   Live a little – make a hybrid.

Stir and sip.
	Don’t forget to wipe off the mustache.
		Dunk in some Biscotti, or if you can afford it, Belgian Speculoos.
