O, dearest and most capable coffee cup How I couldn't bear to be without you Your smooth ceramic Cradling my mornings like fog in the distance How empty you are 'fore the coffee is done I can't help but feel the pang of bittersweet longing Yet, when full, your silken, brittle body Becomes the most fantastic vessel Housing the warmth of my soul O, dearest and most capable coffee cup Were it not for you, I'd be much more a lump Than a regular human being And forevermore, you shall be My greatest friend
