Not the 'Me' That You Normally See

Where would I be without all my cups of coffee?
   Mired in a funk, completely at sea
In fact, I can tell you I would hardly be me
   At least not the 'me' that you normally see

I'd be really mean without my dose of caffeine
   The crankiest crank the world's ever seen
Why, I'd shout and I'd yell; I'd shout and I'd scream
   At those whom I love, the loudest, it seems

I'd take credit for doing what I didn't do
   At the slightest offense, I'd try to sue you
For all that you're worth, you stupid, dumb fool
   As I cackle the cackle of the wickedest shrew 
 
All this for lack of coffee, the drug I prefer
   ~ Without which, to reefer I might have to defer

Jan Allison Date: 11/19/2018 3:18:00 AM oh very witty indeed Gershon, I'm not a coffee fan but can relate as I love my tea, that is the 'drug' I need to get me going:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/19/2018 9:39:00 AM My mom always gave me tea when I was sick. So, I guess I start with coffee because I feel ok. (Haven't missed a day of work in 30 years. Lucky me). :) gw
