Sometimes when we are reading poetry, we also sip our favorite beverage. In the morning, for us caffeine freaks, it is coffee. Sometimes the punchline to a humorous poem is read mid sip...the results sometimes being unpleasant. To make the story short, CJ thought it a good idea to write a poem called 'A Laugh of Coffee'. So I did, but, CJ put in the finishing touches, correcting my awful spelling and punctuation and changing a few words and adding lines to make it read better. Thank you my dear CJ.

Sitting here at my computer
I was drinking a cup of brew.
Reading what you’ve written
is a dangerous thing to do.

I tipped my cup so carefully
and savored my hot caffeine,
when I read the thing you wrote about
I nearly totaled my poor spleen.

The room was filled with spittle,
my keyboard shot a spark,
my fuses blew, the monitor too,
and I was sitting in total dark.

That funny poem you posted
erupted me into a laugh.
From this spill, you’ll get my bill
for the electrocardiograph!

To get me up and online again
I worked for nearly a day.
Oh, I’m still drinking my java …
with a straw, that’s the only way.
