I Just Want Coffee

I wish to purchase a coffee I said
confidently and with a grin
what kind of coffee would one like
said she smiling ah but then

my mind ground to a stop
not expecting an education
a simple request for a beverage
turned into an interrogation

we have mocha cappuccino 
americano skinny and full fat
we provide these with chocolate
and there's sprinkles and all that

you can get one filled with
marshmallows if you'd so please
or simple have it black
and of course... we do tea's

I hope she didn't find me rude
that I upped and walked away
and bought a can of Fanta
in a shop not far away
