Position:Home>Poetry> Have you had a morning without coffee?


Question:Ask me if I want to talk,
All I'll do is mumble...
Ask me if I want to dance,
All I'll do is stumble...

Ask me where the coffee is,
I'll point to that elf....
Along with 20 more, hiding
On the kitchen shelf.

When they apply for unemployment,
I'll be a judge....
One thing I do hold forever,
And that's a 'coffeeless' grudge.

Ain't got nothing to wake me up,
Roosters ain't gonna do it.....
I'll watch the CSI Marathon,
And tell this morning to *crew it!!!!!!

BUT.....Good Morning to YA'LL!!!!!

Hope it's better than mine!!!!!

  • Good morning. Great poem.

    I hate those mornings when the milk is sour or you are running supper late that you can't get your coffee until later that morning.

    Crew it all... lets go party, its Friday and you poem inspires mischief.

    Have a coffee, cheer up and let's talk.

    Good morning!

    days like this i just put the spoon in the jar of instant coffee and eat it like cereal.one way or another im going to get a jump on things

    Good Morning. I LOVED ur poem. I'm the same way with out my Turkey Hill Iced Tea in the afternoon. I hope u make it through ur morning with out zonking out. :)

    A morning without coffee? Might as well go back to bed.

    its 3.30.pm where i am i have had several coffee's today,
    especially at 4.30am when i rose to go to work,double
    expresso's for me at that time.

    Sheryl is home sick today. I will let her sleep for a while, then she has to help...

    I think a morning, an afternoon, qn evening would be impossible without coffee - whatever did us Brits do before whoever it was sailed across the pond? Or did it come the other way around across the land? I really am an ignoramus.

    Mr. Nobody (does anyone remember this)
    Fourth verse

    He puts damp wood upon the fire,
    That kettles cannot boil;
    His are the feet that bring in mud,
    And all the carpets soil
    The papers always are mislaid,
    Who had them last but he?
    There's no one tosses them about
    But Mr. Nobody.

    it is better than yours. sorry

    Once upon a time when I was young
    I saw an old black and white movie
    About the U.S. Navy in World War II
    Glenn Ford was a sailor on a Destroyer
    He drank his coffee from a china cereal bowl

    Soon thereafter I stopped having two cups of coffee each morning and used my cereal bowl ever since....

    Good Morning to All!

    If April would only turn to May I have a second cup o'coffeecake.... so then I just insert a Depp DVD and sip until its gone and I can feel the sun on my bare arms.

    So, the elves made off with the coffee, ey?
    Even grumpy your words give a lift to my day!

    I've recently had to go a morning without coffee due to a knee surgery...Well it was over a month ago, but it seems like yesterday! Oh how I envied my husband and that steamy cup!

    It's All About The Beans And Water

    You go to bed at 2 AM and finally fall asleep by three
    That dang buzzer and snooze button really bugs me.
    It's 6:30 AM and I stumble to my tiny sardine kitchen,
    I stumble, hit my head, stubbed my toe not worth mention...
    I reach for My Sumatra beans and fill the grinder
    They spin around exactly as they should, none finer
    As I have been a corporate and franchise trainer
    Ahh! The aroma fills the house and I use the best Burr grinder.
    I take a deep breath and like wine swirl the mug, cupping
    Swirling in my mouth and finally I get the bones moving!
    Its taste and rich exotic blend are just what my veins need
    When they take me to the ER I tell its not blood I bleed
    So crank up your coffee grinders, no day old left over
    Or sat on top a warmer, burns the drink and its a reminder
    Tomorrow I better stop and get my beans and clean the liner.
    How much to add, one scoops or two, it's really up to you
    Just know that at my house you will be served Java, true!
    Without my favorite mug and traveling one as well,
    There is only one thing I will really yell and tell
    Where are my beans. my mugs? it's a crisis too!
    The worst ever was when I forgot to pay the water bill
    Had ground my beans, and went to fill the water until
    Not one drop came out and I cried and screamed
    The last thing you want is to see me in your wildest dreams
    I dont want chemicals put in me when I die, just an elite
    Dark Roast blendid exquisite, perhaps one day will meet...
    But for now it's back to coffee and doctoral study prose
    There is nothing better than a great hot java, not even a rose!
