Today is certainly a coffee day
Not as the mass of ordinary days
When coffee is a drink, of course, that may
For pleasure be consumed, but as a haze
Requires sunlight to put burnt asunder
So coffee on a day like this must serve
To scorch the mind before it can go under
And make it choose to be awake, and swerve
Away from drowsiness. Coffee can do
Miracles that other drinks cannot;
Energize the body through and through
When it is served up strong and piping hot.
Today was made by coffee at its best
Even though it was a day of rest.
