That Second Coffee



With that second coffee soothing thru veins it 
normally berates I’m caught in a quandary as 
to why; I’d hate to make a wrong assumption, 
this is a great feeling - but is this the ‘perfect’ 
thing to die for - back in Olden Days when th’ 
measure for good work-effort meant seven at 
least before lunch you’re reminded th’ saying 
‘don’t count ‘em until th’ effect fades’ - ruled 

Therefore I’m not going to fool myself its legit 
unless pleasure progresses beyond the initial 
savour into a recherché zone, where knowing 
the favour’s repaid with no more than a mote 
of the same - altho expressed as an antidote, 
and I’ll be true to th’ fraternity’s ‘blue heaven’
