Too

"Good and plenty!"
"Too much cream
in my coffee?"

"It does seem
overly much there."
"So it's extreme

to you?" "Voltaire,
Oh, he'll agree,
none to spare."

I wonder if Voltaire drank coffee with cream. Personally, I can only drink tea. Lively poem.

Voltaire was adamant of human liberties and of that being partial with equalities, though it's not so much coffee vs tea, as the subject was if Voltaire was present he would have assured his friend to have been sparingly with the cream whose is now gone without as he did seem to raise that point from the get-go. Thanks, Victor. Aloha, William
