As a fellow coffee connoisseur, I have to agree with your piece while heartedly and 100%.

Stronger the better and it puts me in a great mood and gets me moving. Have seen a lot of coffee poems, but this one tops them all!

Your poem was fun and it made me smile. I can relate, and I loved your last line about being as grouchy as a bear. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Yes, that first morning cup is always the best one of the day.
Ours is set to brew at 3:30am so when we get up, it's fine, complete and ready to go.

Your poem gave me a smile, had a good cadence and rhyme.
Enjoy the brew...

This made me smile! I am not much of a coffee drinker, but when I have it it must be good quality. I can't drink it past mid-morning though. Thanks for sharing. Strong and sweet to avoid being grouchy. Perahps I should drink more!

Hi Gretchen,
I'm with you, I can't live without my coffee in the morning. Depending on the day, I sometimes overdo it. I can drink it morning, noon and evening. My oldest daughter takes it to extremes, drinking it before she goes to bed. It doesn't seem to affect her. I don't like coffee that is so strong it's bitter, and I never buy coffee from a drive through. I see how many people spend over a hundred dollars a month on something they can make at home, and it puzzles me. Great poem gal. Keep drinking that java.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    It never affected me until I hit sixty. Now I limit myself to one cup a day. I'm glad you could enjoy this one. Gretchen

Thank you for your humorous poem. I definitely know a couple of people who fit this description to a t. I would be the first to offer them a cup of java in the morning if they forget or skip it.

Ahah, I have two close friends who are health freaks, who will deny themselves super and coffee because of its addictive and health threat, but I'm with you, and I'm still healthy, possibly because a wisely chose my forbears and of course God's kindness, well done, blessings Roy

    I've always heard that coffee in moderation is a health benefit. Shame they're missing out. Coffee is delicious. Thank you very much. Gretchen

Yes an Ode to coffee here, perhaps, in this intriguing short format poem and who would want to disagree with that? A great pic to illustrate - thanks for sharing

Smiles all around, Gretchen!
I don't think that I would be "as grouchy as a bear" without coffee, but I would surely miss it!
My husband awakes anywhere from 3:30 am to 5:30 am each morning, and he immediately brews 12 cups of coffee: he enjoys one or two cups, and he leaves the rest for me! Wahoo!

Much enjoyed!
Thank you for sharing!
Fondly,
diane
