The coffee

The coffee you gave me was expensive,

I know because it came in a cardboard cup.

Only the from the best coffee shops

Do you get such luxurious containers to hold your beverage.

In a working man's cafe you get a china mug.

No cardboard cups here. They wash them themselves you know.

No trees were injured when making their coffee.

It's not good enough, it's too cheap.

No. Coffee must cost the earth to warrent cardboard cups.

Thank you for paying so much for my coffee.
