to the tune of "drink a rum"

I drink a coffee in the morning,
I drink some jo at night.
I drink a latte in the afternoon
To make my head feel light

I drink espresso in times of peace
A double in times of war
I drink my java til my hands do quake,
And then I drink some more! (perk, perk, perk)

That's great! You have a talent for this. Makes me *really* miss caffiene. :)

Thanks! As for the caffeine, decaf is not so bad if flavored heavily...

I have spent many long hours in Starbucks, Borders, and other coffee shops all over the area. I don't consider it an addiction so much as obsessive compulsion!

You realize you have now stuck that song in my head on endless repeat for the rest of the day... *thwap*

I did this because I had the rum song stuck in my own head! It could be worse...

It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world...

oof

Oh, now that's just cruel. :)

This is the song that never ends.... No, can't do it - not to a friend. :p

What would you do for a cup of coffee?
What would you do for a cup of coffee?
What would you do for a cup of cofee, earli in the morning.

Way-hey and up he rises, way-hey and up he rises, way-hey and up he rises, earli in the morning.

Take him to a starbucks and pay fu-ull price
Take him to borders and study math
Flavor it with amaretto
Oops it really was the booze
.....

*snort*

That might require a little bit of explanation. While studying for my master's in math, I would spend hours at a time drinking coffee at Starbuck's and similar locations. Once a friend dragged me to XandO's in DC where I ordered my usual, a double latte with amaretto. Little did I know that XandO's is a coffee BAR, selling not only coffee drinks but alcohol as well. They put real amaretto in my latte, not the flavored syrup. Darned good latte. Though, for $7.50, it should be, eh?

What the heck is amaretto anyway? I know it's related to almond, but it's not just almond. Maybe cherry too? Anyway, it has become a bit of a non-issue. Starbucks never had it as a flavor, and Border, which used to have it, no longer does. Sigh.
