Buzz

I drank too much strong coffee

I haven't slept in days

Thoughts are clashing in my head

A psychedelic maze

I just can't seem to close my eyes

They're slaves to the caffeine

How can all this vigor come

From a little coffee bean?

Author's Note

The down side of the coffee addiction...

An adorable rhyme....the sing songy rhythm carried me along. I can relate all too well. While coffee is not my thing, iced tea is and if I drink too much, sleep is a foreign entity for me. Hope you caught up with sleep since this was written. I am trying to make a dent in my read requests. Lydi**

Thanks, Lydi! Coffee is a fun topic for me... :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep - no getting around the truth... ;) Thanks, Jack.

Lol...I'm not a coffee drinker but I've had one heck of a buzz off way too much sweet tea. All that sugar and caffeine...whoohoo!!

Love this and your sense of humor!! ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Whatever your caffeinated desire, my dear - the buzz is the same! ;) Thanks!

[Frieda P]

Oh my, how did I miss this Buzzzzzzz, how did we ever live before coffee? I almost wrote another coffee Senryu and stopped myself, since I thought there were enough caffenienated ones buzzing around, but then again, no one ever tires of coffee! Another good one Rita!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I know - I was sure you had seen this one already. The Cafe is buzzing today with dark-roasted inspiration!

[Pryde Foltz]

Man, I love coffee. No, I really do.

[Rita L. Sev]

[Dr. Wood ?]

it is why they are always dancing in Brazil...Hmmm? Sounds like the basis of a poem

Nice one Rita

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Good idea...

Why do they dance in Brazil?
Why do they run up the hill?
read moreHa! Good idea...

Why do they dance in Brazil?
Why do they run up the hill?
They must get the boost
That is caffeine induced
A rush that can give quite a thrill!

;) Thanks, Doc!

[ANTO]

LOL - what are you like Doc?

[Dr. Wood ?]

You could interrupt a rumba
You could tangle with a tango
You could even have a quarrel with quadrille
But you will NEVER stop them dancing in Brazil

Java! Java! Java! Gimme some! Those little coffee beans are life savers, sometimes! Fun read, Rita. Angi~

[Rita L. Sev]

Knew you'd get this one, Angi! Thanks ;)

There's a lot worse things to consume than a good fix of coffee and if you've overdosed on the caffeine Rita no need to worry, the malaise will soon wear off !

A little witty, ditty on the joys of being a coffee drinker ! Must go & put the kettle on...time I had another cuppa!!

[Rita L. Sev]

;) Thanks, Tom! I try to be moderate in coffee consumption, but some days... And we just put a coffee maker in the room across the hall from my classroom... I'm in trouble!
