You've Gotta Try This!!
Why, oh, why did I do it?
I was told it was delectable
(it was)
and simply irresistible
(it is)
but now I pay the price
The warm, dark liquid
as it drips downwards
snaking an inviting scent throughout the room
as I tap my fingers impatiently
waiting for it to finish.
Slowly, I drink in
and the remarks made are true.
"It's bold and strong"
(quite so)
"You'll love it!"
(I do)
And now I lay staring at the ceiling
andmythoughtsallruntogether
and I feel like I can conquer the world
Three A.M. has come and gone
as I silently curse myself
for not waiting until morning to indulge
damn coffee....
I was told it was delectable
(it was)
and simply irresistible
(it is)
but now I pay the price
The warm, dark liquid

snaking an inviting scent throughout the room
as I tap my fingers impatiently
waiting for it to finish.
Slowly, I drink in
and the remarks made are true.
"It's bold and strong"

and I feel like I can conquer the world
Three A.M. has come and gone
as I silently curse myself
for not waiting until morning to indulge
