Ode To a Coffee Cup

There you sit, my Love, holding nectar from above, strong and rich and hot. More awaits me in the pot! Your serum lures me; from my ennui, it cures me. I clutch you and sup from your bounty, coffee cup. Dear, I hold you tight, be it afternoon or night. Solo, with a meal— you possess immense appeal. Folger’s, Maxwell House, two great brands that I espouse, Hazelnut or French vanilla creamer and a pinch of sugar creates the magic mix that abates my need for a sweet, steaming, caffeine-laden treat!
