Another Cup of Coffee


Tasse_Kaffee, by 3268zauber.

Give me coffee! Hurry up!
I need to have your biggest cup!
Too much cream! Never mind!
Four sugars, if you'd be so kind.

I'm at the office, none too soon.
Another cup holds me 'til noon.
No, not 'til noon; my mistake.
At 10 a.m.'s my coffee break.

The coffee at my job is free.
A good thing; this is number three.
A shot at lunch, and I am set.
At least it's not a cigarette.

At nearly five, I've drank but four
So I consume a couple more
When the boss has stepped away
Which totals six by the end of the day.

After supper, with dessert
I figure one more cup won't hurt.
Such late hours I seem to keep.
Why is it I can't fall asleep?
