Coffee Makes Me Feel Good Poem by Terence George Craddock

coffee is my daily fix
I go through coffee
like models go through clothes
like desert camels
go through water reserves
none of my coffee stock lasts
never lasts long enough to be vintage;

Irish coffee could be a fix
coffee with Irish whiskey
coffee with Irish cream
as in Irish cream liqueur
with cream or nutmeg to taste
what a breakfast mix to make in haste
to fortify soul to run marathon work race;

but I admit I rarely drink Irish coffee
Irish coffee is banned in Saudi lands
Saudi Arabia is alcohol intolerant
but I do adore a coffee fix
I could drink it with rum
never have an upset tum tum
a Mormon I cannot be;

Mormons ban alcohol and coffee
Mormons even ban teetotaling tea
this declaration I will now celebrate
with a stemming cup of coffee
because coffee gives a taste good to me
coffee makes me feel good happy
coffee is a buzz joy in life to me;
