Coffee, Black

Coffee comes in many flavors now,
Decaffeinated too, or so I hear;
But somehow I still doubt you will allow
A drop of milk or sugar to come near
Your precious cup of black - nor can I blame
You for this deep tenacity of yours:
For coffee will not ever taste the same
Once anybody overzealous pours
A drop of milk or cream into it, or
Adds sugar to alleviate the bitter,
And I know you desire nothing more
Than pure black coffee - and what could be fitter?
I think that is a good sign, too, for me:
You do not change what you take lovingly.
