“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons” T. S. Eliot
Coffee makes the world go around
Coffee
Makes the world go around,
The world go around,
The world go around
Nothing is a more sweeter sound
But the spoon makes a clinking sound
When in the coffee cup
Swirling around

“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Four Options Of Coffee
1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak
How to recognize bad coffee:
1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.
You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:
1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.
Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

Another cup of Coffee?
“Dear, another cup of coffee for you?”
“Oh yes please,
I could never refuse
Such an offer!”

Coffee Time for Daily Photo
Coffee in the work place
Or coffee on the beach
Where ever you stay
Practice what you preach:
Drink Coffee
When ever
Where ever
Always, Coffee

Quest for the Daily Post
Is this a road to nowhere?
Or is it taking you somewhere?
A place unexpected,
For a few selected?
So be very careful what you wish for
You may end up getting it!

Mundane Monday
“Oh, yet another Monday!”
She sighed heavily when
Through the looking glass
Call it a window, alas
Suburbia covered with mist
Possibly a thoughtful gift
By the weather gods
Playing a naughty trick
“Well, better get out there, and face whatever may fare!”
And off she went
Stubbornly,
Trying to put as many dents
Getting through Monday
Not another fun-day
Luckily,
Monday only happens
Once a week!

Metal, Wood, Clouds and Sky
The four elements of nature,
Or as defined by us lowly creatures:
Metal: Heavy music, or durable material for construction
Wood: Good for building and nice for shade
Clouds: Fluffy and white, but sometimes grey
Sky: Blue, if you are lucky, grey if it rains

Precipice
If you want to jump in
Mind the glass
It’s a long way down
So, just remember
Not to land on you ass

Dark Glasses
Can’t stand the flashes
Oh paparazzi be cursed
Because,
I am forced
To wear these dark glasses
Before,
My fifteen minutes of fame
Passes

Rear-view Mirror
Trying to act casual
Trying to act cool
After all,
There is nothing unusual
And nothing, like a fool
Than, in the middle of traffic
Stopping midway
For a quick snap it
After all
This is what all
Self conscious hip people
Do these days!
So snap, snap, snap away
A selfie in progress
