The bitter coffee kicked;
I shook and then I licked
My lips and gave a sigh.

    I remember in my forties, I had to address an audience of 200 people for a work related lecture. I had the jitters to say the least. A senior member of the team advised me to eat 2 or 3 teaspoons of coffee, together with drinking a strong cup. I couldn't wait to get out there.
    Best
