An Addiction

As coffee cups go mine's very pretty With butterflies and flowers thereon Not very masculine I must admit But welcome at the crack of dawn Stumbling my way down to the kitchen At six o'clock on the dot Dragging my body bumping into things Arms flailing reaching for the pot The first sip goes down kinda roughly I shake and shudder giving thanks My body tingles right down to my tootsies That stuff can sure turn my crank Been thinking of taking it intravenously That's when there's no turning back When you fall headlong over the precipice And have serious withdrawal attacks But to top it all off this substance is legal How cool is that my good friends When stuff can give you this much of a buzz It's bound to be illegal in the end So far so good and until further notice You can drink it openly if you wish But as soon as it goes the way of marijuana That's a whole different kettle of fish

Need a couple of cups to start my engine in the morning, and it flows all day long. Cheers
