Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Deciding On My Breakfast Drink

I am thirsty but cannot make a decision.
We have orange juice
prune juice
cranberry juice
apple juice
tomato juice
red grapefruit juice
We are out of cranberry juice, my husband reports.
Well, this helps a little.
We have chocolate milk, white milk, strawberry milk.
I think I’ll have coffee, I tell him.
I hear him groan.
My coffee is made with several extra steps.
You have to add a packet of cocoa, chocolate milk and two sugars.

L Milton Hankins July 15, 2022 at 12:55 PM Don't drink the grapefruit as it conflicts with your medications. True. I did not make this up. Cranberry is good for your kidneys, so I vote for it. Your coffee is known as cafe mocha, Caren, and you'll pay dearly for it at Starbucks! L Milton Hankins July 16, 2022 at 9:43 AM I rarely drink Starbucks because it's so damned expensive. I can make my own at home for a quarter of the cost. Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2022 at 3:33 AM I do not drink Starbucks coffee; I despise what their coffee does to my stomach. I always choose pink grapefruit juice, and know conflicts but cannot stop drinking it. I love the taste.
