It's a very cute poem. We took need our coffee in the morning. It was humorous and flowed well. I've read similar porns to this, before, but you made this format personal and unique. Good work! :))

I think you have done a fantastic job of this one, Debra. It is interesting when we have precise numbers of things we have for the perfect brew.

Pristine metre and rhyme and a fine addition to you book. :))

Debra, you are so clever. I never knew this about Beethoven and his coffee. I wonder how he came to the 60. Amazing man and highly gifted. Maybe he found the secret concoction.

Beautifully penned and illustrated, my friend.
Blessings for your book of poems!

Hmm. Methinks Herr Beethoven had Asperger's of some degree. I'm quite sure he couldn't detect the difference between 61 or 59 coffee beans! Lol. Great little factoid!

-Great artwork and nice presentation, Debra.
-I used mental floss for some of the history of women, but
I didn't know they had a fact generator. I will have to try that.
-You wrote a good poem and it made me chuckle.
-I could picture him saying some of those things.
-I think it's because you have that proper English tone throughout the poem.
-I like your line about the muck and how he hasn't lost his taste.
-A good concluding verse, too.

I like your interesting fact about Beethoven. I wonder how many coffee drinkers today areas persnickety about the number of beans as he was. He would have snubbed me because I like that "instant muck." Rod

This poem, No More No Less, presented with three ABCB-rhymed quatrains, presents a directive that seems both demanding on one side and "measured" on the other.
