The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Bourdain Coffee is not a culture disdain


Mister Bourdain clearly in abject pain

The cook feeling crook can't refrain

Asked about same subject did complain

Coffee's not a culture he does explain

Why do they sustain their campaign

His bane such nonsense won't wane

Not like the throng along the Seine

Nor the glitz of Biarritz or arcane Spain

We know a barista may have to train

Wittily says in Italy have made it plain

Breakfast frothy coffee then not again 

The agony of Anthony fuels his disdain

Slicker chair made from wicker & cane

Hysteria like wisteria on a trendy lane

Specs and pecs those necks will crane

Feline design plastic surgery is insane 

Their ilk less coffee more milk will contain

Let's end yuppie caffeine bean reign

The vastly ghastly inane finally slain

Shallow callow stain down the drain

Forget arty farty latte said Bourdain 

He did maintain to party & entertain

Not trippy dippy hippy Lion's mane 

Go loco coca not cocoa yep cocaine
