How I Like My Coffee

Coffee sir? Yes my dear, please……………..
And don't you dare bring me no damn cream….it's straight black coffee for me!
You see, I've sampled brews from all over the world, but the one I chose is just like my 
girl….Straight black….no cream, hot and sassy,                                                              Yet 
filled with a rich bold flavor and always classy!

I savor the flavor of my coffee…. as she touches my lips……..
Yeah, I go downtown for my coffee….I've made it on numerous of trips.
I long for the kiss of my mahogany Miss.
As I fiend for the bean, if you know what I mean……
My coffee always sweet and never tastes bitter……..
She's freshly brewed, whenever I’m with her!


I like my coffee straight black….with no added taste creams.
I rise in the morning for my coffee and have another sip right before I go off to dream.
If you had to label me….label me…a straight up coffee fiend!
I like to drink my coffee right out her pot….
I like her when she's piping hot……
Damn, it feels good, when my coffee…hits the spot!



She keeps me up all night….this coffee makes me feel just right.
Folks say too much caffeine ain't good for you….
But what's a fiend like me to do? I took one taste and I was through.
My coffees Taster's Choice and she's "good down to the last drop."
I got'z to have my coffee…..man I just can’t stop!



Now I not saying I'm an authority or trying to be no coffee connoisseur….
But I do like my coffee….untainted…straight black…au natural' and pure.
When she goes down….my coffee heats me all over and satisfies me..… through and 
through.                                                                                                                           
  Sometimes I just hold my coffee….looking into her…inhaling her aroma….admiring the 
flawlessness of her ebony hue.

I bet if you knew coffee, like I….knew coffee……brotha man……
You'd….fiend' for this Black coffee too!
