55..Ode to Coffee...Double Trouble...

It's icy or hot....creamy or black
It makes it hard to hit the sack!!
It's picked...dried...ground...roasted
It's brewed and drank..with all things toasted!
It's your Morning's Inspiration
An Insomniac's Sensation!!
Drink it weekly....Drink it daily
Drink it with Kaluah..Drink it with Bailey's.
..It's Good, To The Last Drop!!!!

Come on everybody...see how easy this is?
A fifty-five does not have to be great literature,
But it does have to tell a story....In fifty-five words!!
So get off of your butt, get out your thinking cap,
and start pounding those keys..Trust the G-Man,
You'll be glad you did!!

OOPS...I did it again!!....Another 55...hehehehe
Peace!!

  1. I love coffee, all day long. When I brew a pot at night, yep, I can count on double trouble. It's worth it, though -- as you've so ably expressed in yet another well-brewed 55. Kudos!:)

  14. Starbucks gave me a coffee sample yesterday!

    Well, not just me, they had them bagged up at the cashier.

    I can't wait to brew it in my French press!

    It's the breakfast blend.

    I just caught up on all of your posts, Galen-love, and couldn't help comenting on these past few where I couldn't keep my fingers shut.

    As for my 55....I have not been home much to write...but I shall try and come up with one at some point today. I have shit to do for school and want to get a pedicure and have to go to the post office and, and, and...but I'm gonna try.

    Much love and your pic is hot.

    As always, you stud.

    =P

  18. ha! at first i didnt know what the heck
    you were talking about...(and this is
    after coffee) but funny you say that,
    i counted the first paragraph because
    i wondered which part of the post
    was a 55, then i totally forgot about
    all that and drifted off into outer space,
    so maybe, just maybe i kind of sort of
    almost had a sense of the double 55's
    (oooh, 55:55!! yikes!!) and i think you
    mentioned something about 55's not
    55...anyway, cool man! you are just
    spilling over with 55's, you brainiac...
    you love these literary and visual
    challenges....me, i'm just happy if i
    can do a new post every 2 months!
