Are you what you drink?

A 2SM*, Ready in an instant and a great all rounder.

A flat white, level headed and straight forward.

A Cappuccino, a frothy little number with sprinkle of delight.

A Macchiato, Small dark with a dash of colour.

A Affogarto, Dark and black until a sweet scoop melts, sweetening and lightens your dark heart.

A Espresso, small but a full bodied character.

A Latte, a bit showier than a flat white but a little less body.

A Vienna, goes one better than a cappuccino with a tall wig of extra wickedness.

A Hazelnut, A little bit nutty but very sweet.

A El Grande, Larger than life but not much substance.

A Decaf, full bodied without the muscle.

A Dirty Chai, Looks normal with a spicy twist.

A half cap decaf with a twist, really? you need help, seriously!

The list goes on and on.

Which coffee am I?

My coffee is large, dark and bitter, like my soul.

*instant coffee with two sugars and milk

About the Creator

Owen Nicholls

I have worked in the IT industry for over 30 years. Poetry grabbed my attention at an early age when I was going to elocution lessons and my teacher found that reading out poetry was perhaps the best method.
