Coffee Morn Tails


Perk, perk, perk, perk,
perk, perk, perk, coffee
Cup of brown brew woke me up
Me need one more cup!


Originally submitted as a senryu, but had to add four more words to satisfy the twenty word requirement for this contest.

I like it - the double meaning of perk, as in percolating also, and how true this is for so many people. Great description with few words - I think the repetition only adds to the neediness and reminds me of that percolating sound. congrats on your win!

heehee. I see you did the word repeating way! But you ended up with a cute little ditty! Me need. . . (yup, losing those vowels makes one talk like Tarzan!) Good way to do the contest, Robert. I googled scrabble words that don't use certain vowels and found lots of great words! YOu have to read this one that is really cool. It's by Natalie, the Rogue Rhymer.

I've reached a spot with community points which is possible only once. I'm currently at 55555 points. That is the only number anyone can get across the board.
