Home / Cafe Culture / Poems To Sip By: The Musings of A Coffee FreakI Am Coffee, Hear Me Roar! (the bean's perspective)"I am the bean That brings caffeine To every fiend That's on the scene From Katmandu to downtown Reno... From coffee (black) To cappacino. I open eyes And grease the tongue. I soothe the old And move the young. I am coffee. Hear me roar! Drink me - now - So you can soar! So, keep on drinking Won't you please? Cause' I'm the cure To your disease. Sufficient grounds To swill my juice? Don't want to hear Your lame excuse. Don't have to listen To what this says Just ask my dad - He's Juan Valdez."
The Cold SipCoffee drinkers, gather 'round. Your coffee cup is fertile ground For frigid foulplay deep within. (To taste it cold should be a sin...) Corrupts the bottom of your cup; The one you need for waking up. So, please take heed, sip fast and well Or you'll descend to Sipper's Hell. It grows from sloth and sips infrequent. Next thing you know, your cup's delinquent. Lack of focus, life's distracting... Leads to coffee heat-extracting. A low-grade cup could be the cause, While some abuse the coffee pause. And sometimes we misplace our mug... Enough to make you want to chug. The Cold Sip lurks beyond the pour And sends a chill into my core... It shocks my center, like frost in winter; My aching bones begin to splinter. You think you're safe, so one more sip... Then cold wetness on your lip!!! It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Such bitter stuff when cups go south. Better to sip and lose, you see. There's more to life than coke and tea! So, roll the dice and seize that pot And sip your coffee whilst it's hot. |
