Nodding off for the exitting crowd,

This will be a three-cup night…

Regretting coffee makers aren’t readily formed

Coffee machines down several flights!

–

Refilled from a thermos our next cup poured,

Heat loss cools this down…

The machines use instant servings-worth stored

Until a new cup plops down!

–

Munching popcorn does just so much,

We need “high-test-flowing” veins…

Eating slower one’s fullness ensures

Unpleasant to chew spent coffee grains!

–

Between two travel mugs,

Three cups-worth have we to spare…

Coffee in various states

And flavors (at this point don’t care).
