Not your average cup of joe

Not your average cup of joe

A Poem by SleeplessVolcano
"

"Mmmm.....still cannot find alt 137 on the ipad"

"

Navigating Writer's Cafe
Is like playing Battleships -
I need to tread so carefully,
To miss those per-square-inch land mines -
Before a book publisher knocks on my door,
Or a Chinese bride nails my wallet to the floor,
Or a travelling girl wants to hear
A Serengeti lion's roar.
Imagine how offended Emily Bronte would be
If on page 87 of Wuthering Heights,
An advert for the finest tea,
arrived last week from India,
Would spoil the readers literary glee
And distract friend and foe alike -
Oh the bliss of centuries past
When brands could not creep
Through
Our pockets and heads
Maybe I'll sleep tonight
If I keep the Ipad out of bed.

Captcha = galagala.......now wouldn't that make a brilliant brand name for a new, exotic tea from India? :P
