Into the kitchen to make some coffee,
Go to the cupboard,
Get the tea tin out,
Open the tin,
Close the tin.
Back to the cupboard,
Get the coffee tin out.
Grind the beans,
Put the powder in the teapot.
Empty the teapot,
Grind more beans,
And put in the coffee filter.
Start filter.
Stop filter.
Put water in the filter.
Start filter.
Get wife’s devils brew*
From the correct cupboard,
Open cupboard,
To get spoon from drawer,
Close cupboard door,
Open drawer to get spoon,
Put devils brew in cup.
Put kettle on.
Turn off kettle.
Fill kettle with water.
Put kettle on.
Poor boiling water,
Over devils brew,
But it will not die.
Add milk,
Tell wife her drink is made.
My coffee is filtered,
Pour black nectar into mug,
Sit down, exhausted,
And drink my well-deserved coffee.
It only took an hour!
*devils brew = decaffeinated coffee
