Ode to Coffee

When sleep is cut short

Cause clocks have sprung forward

And rest is denied

Cause hubby’s a snorer,

What do I need to

Make the day shorter?

Coffee.

When Monday begins

And I’m just not ready;

When kids are a grouch

And tempers are testy,

What can I grab when

Life’s a bit messy?

Coffee.

When traffic is dense

And my song I can’t hear;

When work has me stressed

And complaints fill my ears,

What keeps me sane when

The crazies appear?

Coffee.

There’s sweet tea that’s iced;

There’s pow’r aid and cola;

There’s choc’late and sweets;

There’s nuts and granola

But none has the pow’r

To fend off my coma like…

Coffee!!
