...of sugar and th'expense.



(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXXXVI)


Tis Nash'nal Frappé Day. I'm on the fence.
Fave Starbucks' drink the "Frappuccino," they'll
Have that with "protein foam" likeas t'avail
The latest trend, hot peppers too, til thence
I'll pass and mull th'attempt to brew it hence
Myself; yet even this shan't do for bail.
I'm way too fat. "...'Void sugars--" fine detail
Some rule to help me lose, where is defense?
Get this! It's after noon by now in tour,
So I'll skip coffee for today, and rue
This vain thought of a tribute to as twere
A cherished Grecian treat. If I should brew
Strong coffee, I'll miss pulling 'spressos. Stir
Dreams, to fall short. LORD, save me. I need You.
