Coffee is bad for me,
that I know for sure.
But, however hard my resolve,
I cannot have less than four.
First cup to wake me up,
And second to sustain it,
Third cup to pass the day,
And fourth to seal it.
I did try to give it up,
By having milk and juice.
But with a crying baby in hand,
A headache is NOT good news.
So I have relapsed to my old ways,
With four cups every day.
But over time, I will develop the will
To get this out of my way.
