Coffee Haiku

March 1, 2005 by DeWitt Henderson

Coffee Haiku

Coffee hot, coffee good
Starbucks or Peet’s?
Better Valu good enough for first cup.

Tea or coffee?
Mother offers wisdom:
“Tea just isn’t coffee”.

Wife has no coffee
Things get broken
Threats are made.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!
Oh, so sorry
Had a lot already.

Hotel ran out of coffee
None at desk in a.m.
Wife almost sets place on fire.

Coffee first
Mind sometimes clicks on
Then things get done.

Black or with cream?
Or with cream and sugar?
Violent debates ensue.

Pie, cake, other pastries
Wife cannot eat them
Without coffee.

Too much coffee
Sometimes good thing
Sometimes stay up too late.

Shade grown or free trade?
Regular or organic?
I must try them all to decide.

DeWitt Henderson never had a single cup of coffee - really, not even one - until he started working a real job after college, finding getting up at an early hour very difficult without help. Since then, he has been a key participant in a long-term top-secret US government study on the correlation between big business and big govt. computer programming jobs and Death by Boredom.
