Too many
times I’ve been told to my coffee habit wean
To forego one
of life’s simple pleasures, the jolt of caffeine
As we
Americans are on an obesity binge
The effects
of diabetes we should all come to cringe
Blindness, kidneys,
heart disease, sores and loss of feet
If ever we
needed a silver bullet for this disease to defeat
News today
of studies that more coffee each day
Will keep
the wrath of Type II at bay
Off to the
kitchen to grind up some beans for fresh Starbucks to brew
No cream or
sugar to dilute, smell the aroma and bid farewell to Type II
Just when it
is time to maybe on a pastry to splurge
No longer
the need to fight the sugar siren call urge
What do I see
when I with a French Roast at my side
Online news
of coffee prices on an upward spiral ride
Drought in
Brazil is killing the coffee crop
Uptick in
prices gain mo and will not stop
Time to go
to the market and be a hoarder and stock up
Pray for
rain in Brazil and know my coffee doses I will not disrupt.
Life may not be just and life may not be fair
But at least in coffee, we know how to prepare
If all else fails there may be still some Type II prayers
That tea, herbal, green or black with coffee same Type II shield shares
