How to Make Coffee without a Coffee Maker

Wave your
cup over
the top
of a
nice fancy
coffee maker
so to
infuse the
scent of
coffee in
to your
cup
if your
cup doesn't
smell of
coffee
then your
cup has
no sense
of smell
and should
be replaced
either go
for a
French cup
Italian cup
B cup
or what
ever tickles
your kitten
allow to
stand undressed
facing the
bathroom door
for about
3 minutes
or until
you can
smell
coffee

enjoy

love the poem and you know I like the short line form

but it wasn't feeling quite right here, so I took the liberty of playing around with it. See if any of this suits you, or not at all, no worries. The only word change suggested is you can smell [the] coffee just for the play on words on the phrase "wake up and smell the coffee". Wave your cup over the top of a nice fancy coffee maker so to infuse the scent of coffee into your cup. If your cup doesn’t smell of coffee then your cup has no sense of smell and should be replaced either go for a French cup Italian cup B cup or what ever tickles your kitten allow to stand undressed facing the bathroom door for about 3 minutes or until you can smell [the] coffee enjoy Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind."

Or what passes for coffee? lol. So nice to see your mental antics and gymnastics on paper (er.. e-board?) Hug, Anna "If you think you're free, there's no escape possible." ~ Ram Dass

Coffee, mmm

A nom from an addict, lol. I am so pissed that I had missed this, but going through and reading your last, I thought wow, another. But maybe I really said, bullshit, how slack am I. Lol. There is a visual in this poem, yep, and the much missed words and smiles of reality your poetry brings. Brilliant but I do agree with Elf on the slight changes, yet I am biased anyway, this is you, and lovin it. Welcome back dearheart. Love Lyz. XX
