An Ode to Coffee

(You know this is from Pinterest.)

Okay, I'm supposed to be giving you writing tips, but I don't have any, so I'm gonna cheat again and just post today's story, An Ode to Coffee. I've been taking a break from coffee, because I get too easily addicted to it. So today, when I have a headache and am really wanting some coffee.
