Let me sing
My deep devotion
To the Potion.
**********************
Reviving, blessed coffee!
Murderous, cursed coffee!
This recreational drug
In my mug
On bleak mornings,
On long afternoons,
On tired evenings,
On jolly nights,
The drink of
Goatherds and nerds,
The beverage of
Beggars and kings,
Plain or with
Some exotic flavorings;
Sophisticated, smooth Viennese
Sets at ease,
I drink also
Frappй, Cappuccino, Espresso,
Slow agony Instant,
Muddy, swamp-like ‘Czurkish’,
Midwives of Art,
Midwives of rubbish,
The boosters of
Thinking and contemplating,
Gatherings and ravings.
*************************
Sometimes coffee stings
But the bard
Sings his “Coffee
Above all things!”

This poem is written in "menage a trois".
If you like it, invite me for a cuppa coffee.
Czurkish is the distant relative of Turkish coffee made in the Czech Republic.

Мой или твой? Я пью нормальный кофе. Значит твой.
