Ode To Coffee Poem by david lessard

Here's to coffee! 'Tis such a boon...
It takes from a stumbling goon,
awakens me from my cocoon,
into a more affable baboon.

I stretch and take a great big sigh,
my eyes widen from the caffeine high,
and soon I cease to wonder why,
I look with pleasure on the sky.

I love my lirrle cups of joe,
It warms my gizzard, it makes me go,
It takes me from a state so low,
and now I can...go with the flow.

Yes, here's to java, in any way,
It's sure to bighten up my day,
It keeps the doldrums of night at bay,
and reminds the mind to kneel and pray.

Thank you Lord, for this great life,
Praise your works, with much Thanksgiving,
Grant us this morning...without strife,
Let us savor, our friend and neighbor,
And get on with the business of living.

Folger's, you've made my day a blessing,
and sleep is no longer with me messing,
and soon they'll be no more second-guessing,
just a few minutes please, and I'll be dressing.
