Coffee Stain Contra

Stain on the coffee table.
Where did you come from?
Your brown halo. From overflowing
cup? Maybe clumsy stumble.
I don't remember seeing you
yesterday in this place. Since I
don't drink coffee 
you're probably a tea stain 
that I need to clean again.

This is cool, Jesse! I'm not a big fan of free verse but I am a huge fan of Doug Adams and I really like this form. It has a very 'Monty Python' feel to it. Anyway, fun contest, thank you for the placement! Ly xoxo

Amusing idea Jesse, this works as advertised, it doesn't make you wonder at all, thanks for the example.
