Coffee

So, this MR (Medical Representative) came over one day..
To Build a relationship and Sell Dr. Talon some Medicines
He brings along Pizza for lunch, and I make some coffee
10 teaspoons of Nescafe, sugar, water & 10 minutes of
rapid-action stirring in a Mug. Ever, since I can rember..

The MR watches me intently, while I'm strolling & stirring
Dr. Talon notices and reminisces of when she'd nod off
with skulls and bones in the bed, with this coffee to keep
her awake for those Grueling examinations back in India

When the muscle between the thumb and the index Tires
and the mug has a light paste that feels like a Cake's Batter
It's time, Take a spoonful, let it drop like a 'Blob' into a Cup
The MR - a French Canadian - was goggle-eyed by that time
BLOB - a new word. Add milk/water, microwave for 2 mins
The rest, cover with cellophane, and it'll work for some days

Yes. He was being polite. But it's better than any Star bucks
Winter, a fireplace, put in a cap of an 18yr Irish Single Malt
Listen to the quiet in a house a 165yrs old, still has the Rocks
of the Fireplace of the Red Indian Chief who lived on this Hill
It's nice to have an Aunt who's as sharp as an Eagle's Talons

A note I wrote that night, Friends still recall that email..
Nov-00, 2 wks after the Launch of the Thuraya Satellite
Must bin the 14th day of a vacation, as my Boss in DC..
