Shuffling Through

Inspired by the Onomatopoeia Contest (2024), sponsored by Emile Pinet. Mid-day invaded my spirits with blah. I sauntered the path to the coffee shop and heard my friends blabbing on endlessly, astir with the recent barista flop. I swallowed a mouthful of latte, gagged and gargled with an unwanted flush of caramel nut crème tickling my throat. It made my gustatory senses gush. After much gurgling, I gulped and groaned, spilling the foamy froth with a loud plop. My spirits sizzled and snapped with the luscious last loud drop. Having quenched my fraudulent thirst I selfishly, yet successfully, bashed the doleful doldrums that attended me. I hiccupped along home and crashed.
