For her a pumpkin spice latte
For me a plain black coffee…
Well, hello, yourself. What am I doing? Well, I’m writing a poem.
See? It’s called “A Coffee Shop.” That’s boring? Well, why don’t you come up with a better–
Say that again? Coffee doesn’t rhyme with latte? Sure it does– it rhymes better than, say, prune juice, anyway.
All the flavurs of autumn…
What’s that? I spelled flavor wrong? It’s not supposed to have an u in it? Well, of course it’s not supposed to have you in– You meant the letter? Well, the British spell it with an u. With a what? An o. Oh, what? An O, too? Isn’t O2 oxygen? What? You’re confusing me. No, I was doing just fine, thank you. You’re distracting me.
Creamy, frothy, spicy latte…
What’s that? It lacks meaning? WHATDAYAMEAN IT LACKS MEANING!?! It means I went to a coffee shop and ordered a pumpk– That’s meaningless? Well, say, if you’re so smart, how about you write it yourself? You’re too busy?
I wonder what you’re doing now, then…
