I was all set to amble through the mall
When I smelled a pure siren’s call
Amble became hurry, hurry became rush
Making my way through all the hush
I sniffed, I inhaled, I smelled the aroma
Be still my heart, there was mocha
Teasing, taunting, drawing me forward
The scent without let-up moved me onward
A line-up at the counter I stood exposed
As my nostrils flared, I all but bulldozed
Into the midst of the ever growing line
Until I was holding my little goldline
Delicious, aromatic, heaven in a cup
Don’t talk, don’t speak, don’t chat me up
Those first testing samples landed on my tongue
Glorious, wonderful, delightful my bell they had rung
A momentous moment to be sure I extolled
My first cup of coffee I lovingly behold
All is right with the world now you see
Never would I so yearn for a cup of tea
Delicious coffee wrapped in my hands
Decidedly all was good in the land
