The Coffee In Your Coffee Cup - comical poem 665 by Angela Lansbury

 The coffee in your coffee cup

Is important, drink it up

Add some milk if it's too hot

Drink it quickly if it's not


In World War Two the Brits drank tea

This was the story Mum told me

Not tea bags dust, real tea leaf tea

Shops' pots of tea - cup two came free


Then when I reached the caffeine age

To gain courage to face life's stage

My habits turned another page

When coffee became all the rage


Now coffee is for connoisseurs

We have capsules, his and hers

Coffee shows class (we can't wear furs)

A drinker smiles like a cat purrs


We offer coffee when we meet

A proper coffee is a treat

The coffee bars offer a choice

Each customer has their own voice


Your name is written on the cup

Don't drink too fast but make it last

An interlude to gboost your mood

The food of love, a fattening food.


A pattern is drwan on the top

Cut out caffeine, I ought to stop

Save money spent in coffee shops

a coffee chocolate, that's the tops.
