A Coffee Loving Friend

Just when you think
you've heard it all
a new friend comes along
and brings a new idea
with her loving house call.

Its a progression, you see.
Life and all its surprises
and the things you learn
and the people you meet.

I thought flavored coffee
was oh so good.
Then I learned of ground fresh,
whole bean.
Then creamers of differing kinds.
How about a Keurig machine
or the exquisite french press?

What about a chocolate covered bean
or the fresh whiff one gets
from newly opened package
of caffeine rush?

Oh, those are nothing
I am beginning to realize.

Because today I learned
one can take used coffee grounds
and rub it onto places
one wouldn't dare show off
where "more to love" may sound endearing
but where we'd love to take some off.

Caffeine taken through skin?
Well.....I don't think she meant it like that.
But, oh........what a laugh we had.
Oh, what a laugh.

Sure, I can see its value.
You never know.....I might just try...
this new way of taking in coffee
because of my friend
whose name I cannot mention
only that it begins with an S.

You make me laugh!
