Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Ordering Coffee At Mcdonalds

Three sweeteners please
And add two packets of sugar
A dab of caramel silk and two shots of chocolate milk.

The woman glared at me.
This is McDonald’s she said, not a Starbucks.
You want all that in lemon tea?

Never mind, I said, feeling foolish.
I forgot that I had finally decided on tea instead of coffee.
The rest of the people in line moaned their displeasure as I left.

Jhinuk Mukherjee July 16, 2020 at 1:27 AM Such a mundane thing presented extraordinarily. I loved the carefree, nonchalance mood of the poem... I have never read a poem like this... It's so out of the box and I kind of just love the fun inside it. All the best. Love Jhinuk. Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2020 at 5:03 AM Thank you Jhinuk. I appreciate your appreciation.
