my work plodding,
my head nodding
need a caffeine break...
This Java's so strong,
it won't be long
til I am wide awake
Now the buzz is kickin,
my heart is tickin
to a groovy latino beat
but then trembling hands,
there's too many bands
the music ain't so neat
can't concentrate,
eyes won't stay straight
brain flipping to and fro
a poem, an email,
biting my nails
don't know quite where to go
A cup of joe
is a dynamo
but can't last forever, you know.
and I'm calming right down
again on the ground
in fact, I'm starting to slow
my work again plodding,
my head again nodding
need another caffeine break...
But I'll kick this habit
my mug, I won't grab it
this fiend I'll just have to shake.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
