Than-Bauk-The Coffee Lover In Me

Coffee's my lot,
a big pot calms
a nut like me! 

Is it the drink
that my sink hates?
Stains stick like paint!

I write and drink,
when the ink stops...
thoughts shrink and fade!

You should see how I lit up when I saw you in first place, Andrew! Big congratulations and a hug are due to you. Although I don't drink coffee, tea can had some of the same side effects you describe so well in your than-bauk! Love, Carolyn

Coffee lovers across the Soup site celebrate this win for YOU! Congrats. It is true that although coffee is stimulating, at the same time it is calming! It also increases mental acuity! Thanks for pointing out all the PERKS! Gwendolen Rix
