The Coffee Prayer


THE COFFEE PRAYER

Caffeine is my shepherd;
I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures,
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz,
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness
for it's name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal
for thou art with me;
Thy cream and thy sugar
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me
in the presence of thy coffee shop,
Thou anointest my day with pep;
My cup runneth over.
Surely richness and taste
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of Mocha forever.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

Trying to like coffee. I love java chillers from Sonic. But I can't go black!!

I'm more a Dr. Pepper guy than a coffee guy-- but I hear ya!

That is funny! I'm sitting here laughing! I don't drink black coffee, but I like Starbucks sometimes, and I too like the Java Chillers from Sonic! Oh and Dr. Pepper is my weakness when it comes to soft drinks.

Just to clarify, I also do not drink coffee black. Unless...I am in desperate straits, but I usually have milk and sweetener.

Um... not sure what to say about this. ;-) You know I'm not a coffee gal, but I'm glad you enjoy it!

A few years ago I promised myself that every morning I got up late, I would drink my coffee black as a punishment and to help motivate me.

Within a week I came to prefer it that way *rolls eyes*.

Too funny! I'm not a black coffee drinker either but I do love it with lots of cream and sugar. And lattes too!

Good to see you last night.

Nice. :)

I wonder if coffee could make me take a lower view of sleep and study more and thus become a better student.
