The smell of coffee beans
Brewing in my steel contraption,
And the bubble and the gurgle
Give me enormous satisfaction.

I wait and watch the jug fill
With beautiful brown ink.

Some like wine and spirits,
But I prefer a caffeine drink.

The aroma gets me going.

The beans give me a zing.

My fix of coffee when I waken
Makes my morning sing.

The ritual of coffee
In my courtyard by the bay,
Watching birds as I awaken
With the caffeine, makes my day.
