Kickapoo Joy Juice

That first cup of coffee in the morning I describe it as KICKAPOO JOY JUICE The day doesn't begin until that first sip When angels start singing and the sun starts to shine You realize the world is a beautiful place You feel like skipping through fields of clover Singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and throwing out daisies At times I'm overwhelmed by the amazing response When total strangers stop me, embrace me And plant huge smackers on my waiting lips I'd prefer members of the opposite sex But in a pinch... hmmm! Yup! KICKAPOO JOY JUICE each morning Starts my old engine a-humming Must be careful though, two is my maximum After that I'm no longer responsible for my actions There have been times when a third cup of the stuff Has caused me to touch total strangers In very inappropriate places When my advances are happily returned It usually means they've been into the juice as well Must leave you now... making my fifth cup There's no stopping me now!!!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Had my coffee yesterday and have almost finished My 'Freshwater Goldfish Whale' poem... You inspired naturally. Then I cleaned the whole house... An unheard of feat of Daring do... But that left me a tad sore... So Hubby said no more coffee for you... Can't imagine why... Maybe having Dragon put Hubby's clothes in the washer whlile Hubby was still wearing them was a bad idea... But Hubby was definitely in need of a bath... Honest!... LOL... My oh my... what coffee can do to me!

I believe you have gone crazy with that stuff my friend! Five cups, wow, you are nuts with the stuff aren't you? I don't drink coffee, in fact I don't drink any caffeine anymore, makes me jittery now! Does it do that to you after five cups? Yikes! This was such a fun poem though my friend! I really did enjoyed reading this tremendous piece, Jack! What a lovely write, Great Work!!
