Coffee Break

Lo, coffee breaks can be broken.
Mission impossible, to wit
Negaholics manage the show,
Often bad-mouthing managers.
Plans to relax workers is foiled.

very relatable from my pre-retirement experience, "negaholics" - never heard that one before - is that your term?

likely not, I probably have heard or read it somewhere and it etched into my memory somehow. Thanks for the comment! How well I remember those days where the teachers' lounge was so ablaze, I chose the haven of my classroom for lunch.

Thank you Paula. Me too, I brew decaf coffee; but as for tea I don't bother. I use the Milo Tea yellow cap Zero Sugar.
