A little innocent take on coffee :P
                                                                              Caffiola


                                                            It welcomes me with a foamy smile
                                                            Sitting on the table in red so bright
                                                            It's milk so rich;it flows so thick
                                                              Through all the coffee beans
                                                          Simmering,fuming deliciously hot
                                                          It's more welcome than a grumpy tea pot

                                                            On a chilly morn my soul so worn
                                                                  It's aroma is a nasal treat
                                                        Washing down last night's jamboree
                                                            It may be hot or it maybe cold
                                                            But it's always a friend so old
                                                        You'll welcome him in arms you'll fold

                                                            One gulp it is is all you need
                                                  It's warmth would creep up those wobbly knees
                                                      Unbuckle,unwind with a mighty whine
                                                          You'll dance to a rickety rhyme

                                                        It's got variants dozens by the score
                                                      Naming them all would be such a bore

                                                      Now for a piece of a quarter  dime
                                                      Let us shift this meandering rhyme
                                                        To the old and lovely Mrs.Pyne
                                                    Who lives on Broadway the Thirty Ninth
                                                        A conjured name out of my mind

                                                          For our lovely little Mrs.Pyne
                                                        Has a mottled secret up her spine
                                                        Yes, it's crusty like a folding chair
                                                    My heart goes out for her in despair
                        But the most we can do is sip our coffee(s) and introduce the doctor from Milwaukee
                                                      "And how are you today Mrs.Pyne?"
                                                "Except for the back i have been quite fine"
                            "Oh don't you worry there is no hurry for i have brewed something divine"
                                                    Now brew is a word quite wrong to use
                                                      Some other time we'll sit and muse---

                                    Alas ! my friends very rudely indeed have i had to interrupt
                                                  This happily celebrated joyous conduct
                                                  For already i see on the (mug's) floor
                                                    The last dregs of a coffee no more
                          Imminent must then come the end of this story(three parts nonsense)
                        So let us leave Mrs.Pyne(with the backache) and the doc(from Milwaukee)
                                                        And if you run out of options
                                                        Or simply out of haste
                                  Then there is always the gleaming and ugly -tea to your bad taste !
