Here's a ditty that I wrote in a stupor some
fifteen years ago.  Don't pay attention to
meter--it's sort of Greg Brown-ish, if it's not
too big-headed of me to say so.  Speaking of him,
if this song doesn't fly we could try his "Good
Morning Coffee".  Whaddaya think?
"Without Coffee..."
I woke up to front-page headlines
They're bringing me down.
Get 'em away! I'm trying to get 
Myself up off the ground.
Speaking of grounds, this song's about
The liquid that sets me free
Without coffee...
where would I be?
It'll hold your hand in the morning
Warm you from the inside out.
Makes you sure of what you do;
It eliminates all your doubts.
Now, if Descartes had what I got
He would've been a nobody.
Without coffee...
where would I be?
I think the world would be much better
With coffee flowing through its gums.
I'd steal it from the landlords,
Brew a pot for the bums.
Then we could all hang out together
And babble incoherently.
Without coffee...
where would I be?
