Up 'n' At Them (NaPoWriMo 2006)

Up 'n' At Them

Oh coffee! Realm of bold bean, cream and hot
mugs with a handle! Sing of Folger's gift,
and Maxwell House and Starbucks! Make a pot
of morning-making, artificial lift,
the jolting joy of new-take-on-the-day!
We horrid early risers work a shift
that bustles, sir, with caffeine interplay,
with sugar seiges, having half-and-half
as mediators till we get our pay!
You don't agree. You sleep till noon and laugh.
Espresso jokes. "Thanks a latte!" Man,
you sure can put a damper on the staff
that cranks the engine of the world. Or can
you buy adrenaline? I'm not a fan.
