My Friend Joe

My Friend Joe

          "Good morning, Hello."
           I whisper to my friend, Joe.

           "Today you're very hot and all I've got."

           "You smell so good just like you should"

           "You are wonderful to hold, especially when I'm cold." 
          
           "My addiction to you can be obscene."              
            I confess to my delightful bean.
           
           "You'll always be my morning fellow,
            but the sadly the reason my teeth are yellow!"

Charles Messina Date: 9/24/2023 3:06:00 AM Marikate, I see Joe every morning "twice" once in the afternoon and once after dinner (lol) he is also hot, but believe it or not, I like him at his coldest too (lol) Dunkin' has the frozen mocha or vanilla that is delicious! Quizzical write for sure! Login to Reply Marikate Kingston Date: 10/24/2023 10:06:00 PM Pumpkin lattes are so yummy now. I love Dunkin' Donuts vanilla lattes too. Most coffees these days are more like desserts than coffee, don't you think? Whip cream and sprinkles do not make a true coffee. I hear over and over that coffee is good for you, I bet that doesn't include the dessert ones. Poo. :(

Brian Sambourne Date: 3/6/2023 7:34:00 PM What a delightfully creative write! I know the morning Joe you refer to, Marikate, though I tend to call him Java Joe. You have your own original bloom of poetry - never change that. Your poetic flair is grand indeed. Best wishes, Brian Login to Reply Marikate Kingston Date: 8/7/2023 6:12:00 PM What nice praise.

Anselmo Boles Date: 12/6/2022 10:03:00 PM It was quizzical at first, then I got it in the end. Clever and pleasant! By the way, I like the Lavazza brand...ab Login to Reply Marikate Kingston Date: 12/12/2022 8:12:00 PM A vanilla latte is my fav'.
