One Shot Wednesday.....

.

.
LIQUID PORTAL TO EACH AND EVERY DAY.....
You can drink it Icy or Hot, Creamy or Black.
Drink it all day? You can't 'Hit the Sack'!
It's Picked, then Dried, it's Ground, then Roasted.
It's then Brewed and Drank..With things that are Toasted!
Drink it occassionally, or drink it Daily.
Drink it with Kaluah, or try it with Bailey's.
It's morning Inspiration...An insomniacs Sensation!
It's the very 'Best Part of Waking-Up'...
And it's ALWAYS ...'Good to the Last Drop'!!

.
.

Hot Simmering Mud.
Percolated Perfection...
I'll have TWO creams please!

.

Got Poetry? Prose? Short Stories?
Is it Wednesday?.....Go Here!

    you forgot the kind that passes thru the g.i. tract of a palm civet.

    i don't drink any of it but i admit it smells great when it's brewing.

    I'm just finishing a cup now. And I'm such a hard-core caffeine addict that it won't even keep me awake.:)

    I can't imagine why you're here drinking coffee when you should be out prancing around a stone circle under a full moon...but of the two, I have to say I'd rather be sluggin down the joe too. And you mentioned my favorite creamer--Bailey's.

    Add 1.5 sugars to those 2 creams and I'm in coffee morning heaven!

    And it grows best in the mountains, right?

    And since I'm on your blog (but only by Googling you) 'cause your link in my commentss is STILL not correct, I'll tell you that a package was sent Media Mail to Flint, MI today from Austin, TX.

    To whom, from whom? I'm not saying. Only the posties will say for sure.

    I was so addicted to the stuff for so many years...and now I can take it or leave it...strange how that could just magically shift.

    LoL! My morning ritual. I wonder how many writers on here have to have a cup every morning to start kick their brains.
