I Do Not Believe You Cousin Dear
There’s a coffee tree in your backyard? In Kansas?
In the back of your house, the marsh?
A Brazilian coffee tree cannot survive here.
Your dhram winters are way too harsh!
Well, sure, I will come and take a peek.
Right this second? Let me get my coat.
That stick you planted next to the leek?
You must think I am a dope float!
I think you sprinkled those beautiful coffee beans yourself.
They did not fall off that stick which a tree is truly not.
I do not believe you, my crazy little Cousin Dear.
Because frankly, you have always been a bit of a snot.
