….

Freshly brewed,

Long overdue.

Piping hot,

A cup, not a pot.

Milk poured in,

Face gains a grin.

Creamy brown,

Never a frown.

Sip…

Blip!

Oh no!

Down and up it goes!

Burn the throat!

Burn the nose!

Pains.

Stains.

All joy gone.

….

I had my first cup of caffeinated coffee in 8 years. Actually only a 1/4 cup. And I inhaled, choked, and gained a sore throat and burned nose. So definitely a kill joy. It’s a sign I should still give it up.

But enjoy your Mother’s Day. At least I only stained the sink. And not my clothes for church!!
