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!
