The Kept Poems

BEST BUDDY, COFFEE

Best Buddy, Coffee

September 2005

The secret weapon of vigils and crams,

The sole guru of bread dips at night,

A relief for clog nose and nasal irritation,

Here comes Captain Coffee of man's incubation.

A salute for your instant mix and apparition,

The final battle is speedy and alarming,

Make us number one; guide us in grave survival,

Have mercy for curly three and blast sited five.

The corps' ability is severely tested,

Muddy crawls under barb wire and fire,

Eating exotic foods for shocking mole,

Shouts for glory, fire in the hole!

Pencils sharpened, pens inked,

Papers of raw prepare not to stink,

Muse of motivation aim to cheer,

We know no fear, terrorist of the year!

Coffee, prove once again that we're best buddies,

Pour you in a cup of hot water, sugar and milk,

We don't care if we look tomorrow ghostly pale,

For as long as those we bone up surpass and hale.
