The day started out with rain
Lifting her mug from the table revealed a perfectly circular coffee stain imprinted on an eggshell piece of paper
For a moment she paused
Pondering the cause
Her eyes fixed on the knapkin
Spotting next to it a little square tin
Then from the ceramic pressed to her lips
She decided to take a sip
But immediately spit the now cold contents
Instead of trying again
She decided it would be a win
To pop a mint from the tin
Slip on her red tennis shoes
And stroll to the local coffee shop
For some fresh brew and small town news
