The Fiend

Dratted addictive molecule....

By Meredith HarmonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Ahhhh, much better! Banana for scale. Slurp, slurp, sluuuuuuuurp....

We cannot be out of coffee, I have deadlines to meet!

Have you checked the cabinet? There's air inside my mug!

Get me caffeine, don't care what kind, not bitter, nor too sweet.

******

Don't stand there staring stupidly! Hustle before I yeet

Your laptop out the window for being far too smug.

We cannot be out of coffee, I have deadlines to meet!

******

Don't care what doom the weather holds, be it rain, hail, snow, or sleet,

Get in the car and procure for me the best inspiring drug,

Get me caffeine, don't care what kind, not bitter, nor too sweet.

******

Cola? Fine. Chai? Okay. Black tea's like smoky peat,

But a triple shot espresso is like a warming hug,

We cannot be out of coffee, I have deadlines to meet!

******

Get me the darkest chocolate you'd ever want to meet

If they're out of mocha macchiatos yet again – ugh!

Get me caffeine, don't care what kind, not bitter, nor too sweet.

******

You got it?? You're not joking now? For real? YESSS! Such a feat!

I'll start on work as soon as I've demolished my elixir chug,

We cannot be out of coffee, I have deadlines to meet!

Get me caffeine, don't care what kind, not bitter, nor too sweet.
