The smell of dark coffee brews in early morn. Such a treat to wake up to, when I’m groggy and worn I’m not fond of fancy frothy coffee shop brew None of them will really do Unless you pour a spot of Irish Cream to fire up a few. When my girlfriend Susie would come over to stew, I always put on a fresh pot of dark roasted coffee to brew I have always been a softy when giving her a caring shoulder We enjoyed the bliss of coffee and Baileys Irish Cream liqueur to make us bolder. Friendship with laughter is a treasure, with a sip of spiked coffee will always do with pleasure. When I was young, Mommy would sometimes wake up looking like a fuddled zombie, but as soon as she’d have her first cup of sugary with cream coffee, she’d be our mommy again cooking us something good for our tummies. 12/3/3021 redo 12/9/2016 ''Z'' Contest, New or Old - Poetry Contest 5. zombie Sponsored by: Constance La France original title: WAKE UP WITH COFFEE OR TEA

Simpleton that I am, I'm happy to wake up to a straight black Blend-37 cup of coffee, but have always been interested in women who wake up quite different than when they went to sleep . . . .

This poem can be for the young at heart and the very young - i enjoyed your interplay of friend and mom and brewed coffee and Baileys Irish cream liqueur, the two of you becoming bolder and your zombie mom who needed her coffee and becoming a mummy who cooked something good for your tummy. A deliciously warm poem Evie, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
