Ode to Caffeine

[Laurel]

Caffeine is my shepherd;
I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures;
it leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz;
it leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™...
for thou art with me;
thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.



Thou preparest a carafe before me
in the prescence of Juan Valdez.
Thou anointest my day with pep;
my mug runneth over



Surely richness and taste
shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in
the House of Maxwell for ever.

Very funny, Laurel. And I'm right there with you.

I learned last month that J.S. Bach wrote a piece called, "Coffee Cantata", with operatic lyrics. And yes, it really is about coffee.

See, now Bach is in great company.

I can't take credit for that one, or this one either:

stong
robust
bitter
sweet
black
with cream
or with sugar
however i want it
i can have it my way
as long as it's got
that perfect drug for me
to help me through my day
stunt my growth
stain my teeth
small price to pay
all i ask is that you
DON'T GET ME DECAFF!!!!!

more words on caffeine from the Net:

Trembling at the hint of caffeine
Shivering - tingling in my spine.
Sugar rush, the morning freshness
a dream of significance - frankly
forgotten. I had hoped. Nevertheless.
Enlightened brew - given over to the
aroma. Fingers flashing back and forth
a myriad of senses blinded, dull
no more.

Early morning insanity strikes me,
Freshly strong brew curbs the fingers in my brain.
A stab in the dark; blunt insistence at
Something hiden, obsolete. Acquiesence.
Trembling before the heavenly aroma
A god for all men, a weather for all gods,
A season for all weathers, A smell for all seasons.

 

[Sillyman]

The most insidious drug of them all.
