THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,
An engineer left, smirking…
I used to drink
Two potfuls I think,
An empty machine is irking!

A popular color is “nude”.
Depends on your attitude…
A tan-like beige,
It is the rage,
While others think it should be viewed!
–
Looking good in the street,
Clothes this color are sweet…
When one is home
And all alone,
THEN accomplish the feat!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
(Is this too much?)
Extra afternoon coverage time,
Two iced coffees are lined…
Up on the desk
To handle thirst,
And calculate his time!

My food is three-fold in nature,
With different nomenclature…
That is, three kinds
Spirit-body-minds,
Each having it’s own stature!
–
My God supplies all three
To each of us individually…
In God’s word
We can observe
Providing for all three.
–
Bible passages feed spirit,
And mind if a body will hear it…
Frequency
Determines degree
Of practice and wisdom adherence!
–
Washing by water and Word,
Frees up minds once disturbed…
To focus
On God as locus,
In Christ our sin has been curbed.
–
Food and blessing come down
With other Christians around…
Christians share
Whatever is there,
So their provisions abound!

A long hallway to walk,
For some coffee and “pop”…
Ice cream, too,
Wrapped for you,
A very brief time to shop.
–
Finding this exercise,
So conveniently-sized…
Needing the cane
Down-back again,
During days, often supervised!
–
Allowed to walk around,
Upstairs he is less found…
This slower male
Must hustle his tail,
Before he grows too round!

Weather harmonics at work,
Temperature jumps and falls…
Extra coffee we perk
Most of us catch colds!
–
Up and down temperatures fly,
In the old days folks would die…
Hearty ones
Survived and made homes,
From New England stock came I.
–
Vaccines can help some,
Colds keep us at bay…
Bugs in the air have fun
Giving more germs away!
–
In a modern sense,
We still need germ war defense…
Weather off whack
Bugs will attack,
Increasing sick patients!

..
Of iced coffees he bought two,
Cream–no sugar–both too…
One for each way
Of commute that day,
Coffee keeps his steering true!
–
After her denture wax fitting,
She wanted some coffee to go…
Got to the drive through and noticed
An adjacent car wash and so…!
–
Took a few minutes to figure out
How to turn the thing on…
Flashing signs on the side helped,
The unit then sprayed on!
–
Went around the building again
For coffees–mine iced–
Bought two Boston Cream donuts for us,
At Honey Dew Donuts they’re nice!

*Honey Dew Donuts is a local donut and coffee shop chain.
I’ll walk that Lonesome Valley,
You know the one I mean…
That lonesome walking hallway
Down to the coffee machine!
Seems such a lonesome walk there
No one around–
I’ll walk that Lonesome valley
To drink coffee grounds;
I’ll walk that lonesome hallway,
For coffee am I bound!

(to tell the truth, I think “THE TWELTH OF NEVER” was the tune I used!)
(In case anyone wonders…MOXIE Cups also hold coffee!)
–
REALITY IS…without a huge mug
That coffee brought down the long hall…
From a coffee machine down there
Is drunk in no time at all!
–
MOXIE mugs or paper cups
Have poor capacity…
Unless one holds back the thirst
And sips most daintily!
–
Used to allow us a pot down here,
Had increased capacity…
Water and grounds close at hand–
Potfuls would satisfy me! 🙂
