What's In A Cup Of Coffee That

WHAT’S IN A CUP OF COFFEE THAT

What’s in a cup of coffee that

An empty cup cannot contain?

It might be worth your looking at

What possibly it may explain,

Because a cup of coffee has

A human meaning to express

That goes beyond the general class

Of cups that signify much less.

A cup of coffee or of tea

Bespeaks a human need to sit

And savor that felicity

Of taking time out for a bit

And musing over what’s too deep

For anyone to figure out

That cups of tea and coffee keep

The secret of what life’s about.
