My Tassimo

I bought myself a "Tassimo"
to make special coffees at home.
Skinny latte's and chai teas
with heaps of frothy foam.

No more trips to the coffee shop
to indulge my coffee obsession.
Specialty coffees are right at hand,
its my new favourite possession.

Cafe' creme, or decaf
and latte's by the score.
So many types to chose from,
my morning coffee's never a bore.

Sounds great my friend and a lot cheaper too. Only thing is now you can gain weight from it. Ah the great pleasures in life are either illegal or fattening. :( Good job here my friend. God Bless, JB

I'm jealous. All I have is my plain old perc- olater. But I enjoy my cup of coffee. Fun poem. Thank you Francine for my nice placement in your interesting contest. Love, Joyce

Do you remember old Lipton Tea. I think it cost about 3 cents per drink. Costly Earl Grey was a rare treat, but I'm stunned by how much they charge these days. I couldn't afford these special teas or coffees, but I bet some of them are very tasty. Drinks with caffeine can become an obsession! Witty poem, dear. And don't worry about nicknames in the limericks. Most people aren't using them and I'm not worried about it. Just looking at humor and form. Love ya, Carolyn

Oh, sorry Steve....luckily I bought decaf for the Tassimo for evening indulgences, midnight means we are on opposite coasts
