When I am drinking coffee,
I like it strong and hot;
No milk or sweetener at all,
Just black will hit the spot.
I don’t need any flavors –
Hazelnut is not my thing.
I even like it perked –
To old traditions I still cling.
But lately when I’m with a crowd
And coffee’s on the scene,
Most people there will ask for theirs
Devoid of all caffeine.
Now, decaf coffee never tastes
Like anything but fake;
It’s obvious if I am served
Some decaf by mistake.
Yet many people, as they age,
Give it, but I don’t get it;
Keep the caffeine in my cup –
I never will regret it.
If decaf is the only coffee served,
I will decline;
Instead, I will enjoy dessert
With tea, or better, wine.

times have changed, and so has decaf, (and i don't put anything in mine, yuk on half and half)....believe it or not. decaf espresso, except for the buzz, in a very good restaurant, is impossible to discern from the buzzy one. brewed decaf, on some occasions (again, my experience the restaurant really has to be aboveo par), is as good. of course, the buzz is most important to me, at least before 3! if i drink any caf after 3:30 PM, i don't sleep til dawn!
ReplyDeleteokay, maybe next time i'm offered only decaf, i'll give it a try. perhaps if i'm expecting it to taste like sanka, i'll be pleasantly surprised. i will miss the buzz, though!
