THE COFFEE PRAYER

(Adapted from an item that Originally appeared in TOM GILL PREDICTS Vol. 15 #12, 2000: from an item originally provided by Mark Conder)
****************************************************************


Caffeine is my sheperd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me wake in green pastures.
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz.
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
The shadow of addiction, I will fear no Equal.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar
They comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me
In the presence of Juan Valdez.
Thou annointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me
All the days of my life, and
I will dwell in the House of Starbuck's forever.
