you are the colonel in my coffee

 

 

 

a soldier standing at your attention

 

your lips salute mine

and i become a private 

on weak kneed furlough

so "at ease"

 

i'm falling all over you.

It's definitely an addiction for me, but at least I'm among good company...and poets!

Oh, how funny...really?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, my dad made me try it when we were fishing once...i spit it out...never tried it again.

Have you ever tried "Dunkin Donuts"...that's how I got hooked. I've got one of those Keurig coffee makers that uses coffee pods. It's really fool-proof, perfect coffee every time. I'm sure its a lot better than that stuff your Dad tried to pass off as "coffee". It was strong, huh...probably could have walked out of the pot! ; )

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i'll pass, thanks....

[andrew mitchell]

I am a coffee addict, sir. But coffee plus love one beside you would be completely different.

[jacob erin-cilberto]
