Caffeine is awesome

It clears cobwebs from the mind

And opens your eyes

But after six cups

You painfully realize

You will sleep no more

So you then decide

To brew another new pot

And think about it

Now I must wonder

What the world record may be

For days without sleep

So as I ponder

I absentmindedly brew

Yet another pot

Now I am entrapped

In a caffeine-filled riddle

Without an ending

Coffee anyone?

Ed, this picture and the poem are really cute. Coffee helped me get through college way back when. Without it, I would not have been able to read those boring texts.

I must say you're a handsome dude with that cigar hanging out your mouth. LOL

You sneaked in again, and got another picture of me,
Eddie!
Could have been last night. I was awake until three
in the morning, then slept two hours, got up again, and
have been texturing and painting all morning. Yeah...I
had several cups of java last night...just because it
smelled so good. Usually, I settle for a cup of tea.
We never learn.
Love your title, too...it's perfect!
