This is a light weight video from Sweetie Bird. She had Mom, Vicki, me, turn off the news to have fun today. Taking a break. No Folgers for me, just light weight humor, and light weight coffee with no acid to burn through the atmosphere,

“The Light‑Weight Coffee Ballad”

(Featuring Sweetie on backup chirps)

Verse 1

Ohhh the coffee cup saga,

Of cream, strong, and weak

Where the diva sips her gentle brew,

Light roast, soft and meek.

Sweetie tweets loudly for morning blue,

A tiny, feathered beat,

As you raise your cup of calmness

In your Riverside retreat.

Chorus

Tweet with Sweetie,

Sip the lightweight, easy coffee…

While the other Queen of Folgers marches in

With her forty-eight‑ounce decree.

She prances with her coffee can,

Dark roast in her hand

“Who cares about your tummy, babe?

This is Queen Coffee Land!”

Verse 2

You said, “I can’t drink Folgers,”

Your body said, “No thanks.”

But she returned with a mega‑can

The size of two whole banks.

The acidity is plotting,

The strong brew takes its stand

But me and Sweetie rise above

With my gentle roast in hand.

Bridge

Ohhh the lightweights of the kingdom,

With soft and pure stomachs

We bow not to the bitterness,

We choose the calm and sure.

Let the Queen of Western Folgers

Sip her potion bold and deep

You will be vibing with your mellow cup

While Sweetie sings you to sleep.

Final Chorus

Tweet with Sweetie,

Raise your gentle brew up high

Let the strong roast roar its thunder,

Let the Folgers queen defy.

But my cup is full of softness,

Your spirit light and free

For the Coffee Saga’s hero

Is the light roast diva…

(That is YOU Mom, Vicki.) says Sweetie Bird
