A Short Rhymed Poem

A chapter in the book Thirty (hopefully) Poems for April

No More No Less

by Debra White

 
 
My morning coffee must be made
from sixty beans, precisely.
No other number satisfies
or hits the spot as nicely.
 
I may have lost my hearing but
I haven't lost my taste!
Don't serve me up that instant muck,
it's only fit for waste.
 
Exactly sixty coffee beans,
that is the only figure
to brew the perfect beverage
to give me vim and vigour.

I'm late starting NaPoWriMo this year, but I hope to catch up and write 30 poems in April.... getting there!

Today I am not using the prompt for day 5 from napowrimo.net, as I didn't like it! Instead, I've used the Amazing Fact Generator from mental floss.com to inspire me.

The fact I used as a basis for my poem is this - Beethoven went out of his way to ensure that his morning coffee was made from exactly 60 coffee beans. The accompanying artwork is from the same source.
