Fly in My Coffee

A coffee lover's worst nightmare.

There’s a fly in my coffee
I drank half a cup
How’d it get there
I didn’t look up

It’s not moving round
Should I drink it or not
It’s dead I am sure
The coffee is hot

I paid for this beverage
But flies I hate
I am very thirsty
And I am running late

I have an idea
I’ll reach in and pluck it
Don’t question my thinking
I’ll toss it in a bucket

Much better I’ll feel
When the deed is done
Who am I kidding
My coffee’s a toxin

To the line I will hurry
A new Coffee I’ll get
I might not be late
My thirst I’ll quench yet

To work I must rush
No time for a taste
The boss will understand
He’ll see how I raced

A story I’ll make up
No, made it on time
I made it to my chair
As the clock did chime

Alone at last my beverage to sip
I open the coffee with care
Closing my eyes and taking a whiff
I find a nasty hair!

Gross! What a disgusting morning!
My own yuck was when the spaghetti sauce crunched in my mouth, and I found a dead ladybug in there!

I love your sense of humor in this poem. I'm also a coffee lover. Without its stimulant, my heard would stop. I'm thinking of getting up halfway through the night for a hot cup of java just so the engine's not so hard to get rolling each morning.

Steve,

Seems like you were having a very bad day! Perhaps you should switch to tea? Thanks for the laugh!

Nice one, Steve;
almost as bad as finding half a worm in the apple you're eating.

This is so whimsical! Once, I had about ten ants swarming around in my mouth after a sip of OJ. Apparently they had gone for a dip in an ant-infested fridge. And let me tell you, those little buggers stick to the tongue with tiny suctions on their feet. Oh, sorry about the rambling...
Best Wishes,
Christine

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
