Drinking Poetry

Milky Coffee

It's closing time now
It's time for an early night.
It's time to go home.
It's bright outside.
It doesn't feel like bedtime.

Before I went to bed, I had a milky coffee.
Before I drank my coffee, I curled up on the sofa.
Before my bottom touched the sofa, I washed up.

Before I did the dishes, I ate my dinner.
Before I ate my food, I cooked the meal.
Before I cooked, watched some soaps.

Before all that, I had just returned from work.
Before work, I found myself with milky coffee.

I need caffeine to keep my brain buzzing.
I need the calcium to keep my body buffed up.
