My Mum Served Me Coffee

Since I was three my mum served me coffee

I was her first child so she was merely experimenting

I bounced to and fro and spoke faster than she

By the time I was four she switched me to decaffeinated tea!

How are you Gwen??? It was such a wonderful surprise seeing your comment, thank you for passing by! This is such a cute anecdote-- i can't recall when I first tasted coffee, I don't think at 3 though-- you must have been such a lively child! I hope all is well with you!
