I wake to whir of grinder’s roar
Then heavenly smells waft through the door
Soon footsteps on the stairs draw near
My morning cup of joe is here!
I want no dainty china cup
A great, big, man-sized mug full up
With coffee, dark and rich and hot
With just a touch of cream on top
Hubs brings it to me every day
That morning cup fixed just my way
I sit and sip, right there in bed
‘Til last night’s cobwebs leave my head
I must admit I cannot think
‘Til first I’ve had that morning drink
I fear I’m just a little hooked
Without it, gosh, my mind feels cooked
And oh my head, it throbs, it aches
Give me my coffee, whatever it takes!
It sounds extreme I must admit
Have I become a coffee addict?
I fear ‘tis true! Oh woe is me!
Is there C.A.* to set me free?
*coffee-aholics anonymous
Still following,

Elizabeth, this made my day. I, too, am a must-have-coffee-in-the-morning kind of gal and your poem made me smile more than once. I so admire people who can string words together that not only tell a tale, but rhyme to boot. Perfect simple pleasures post!
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. Love this post. A good cup of coffee in the morning is one of my most favorite simple pleasures!
ReplyDeleteHA! Love your little ditty! I am a morning coffee girl too and take it in a honkin' mug! Some people think I'm drinking from a soup cup. :/ My husband makes it on the weekends. During the week, I have one at home and one for the road. Perfect! Have a terrific Thursday! :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteLove you little rhyme! Sorry, my friend - this is one thing we can't share. Coffee and I are not friends. Strange things it does! I get my caffeine cold(diet cola).

ReplyDeleteAAAHHH!!! I love this! Can I print a copy to have here? It describes me so perfectly, even down to the hubby bringing the cup when he's home. You are so creative!! This is a favorite simple pleasure by far.
