An Ode to Coffee
Here's a silly little tribute to a former favorite from a few years ago. This must have been during my computer years or that data entry job. I'm surprised I still had it laying around. I wonder what else I'd find if I finish going through all these boxes in my closet? Enjoy!
Coffee! What a wonderfully rich and pungent elixir it is! Its aroma seduces the sense of smell and awakens the hunger. It courses through a man's veins like glorious sun light, awakening the mind and speeding the heart. The warm glow stays in the belly only a short while, and leaves the body with relief. It is an inviting friend to all! For the rich, a status symbol, to the poor, a slight reprieve. For yuppies, a fad, to the working man, gasoline! "Hypertension", "Blood Pressure", "Stomach Ulcers": These are the catch phrases of the weak and feebleminded! They who would have us all live in a caffeine free world do not properly value our friend. Nor do they, in their current state, fully appreciate the Godsend that is the coffee bean. They are to be shunned, shot for treason!
So to you Juan Valdez, your silly burro, the thousands of Columbian peasants picking through fields of treasure, to customs agents and truckers named Joe, many thanks. I lift my cup to you and drink deep of the nectar you all work so hard to bring us!
...hm, needs sugar.
