Coffee

To begin my little day
and wake up, I have a coffee
An Arabica, black and strong
I put on my parka, and now I can get going.
 
"Where are you going?" yells my lovely dear.
"Lets have a cup of joe, I just got up"
Being ahead of time, and a bit rushed
I change my mind and have another coffee.
 
At 7:45, I must admit,
the office is empty and one could get bored.
But I stay calm, I know how to adapt
Until they get here, I have time for a coffee.
 
As the day gets hectic, everyone can work
at least until coffee break.
My secretary comes in, "Strong, just like you like it."
Shoot, I just had one, but since it's already made...
 
A business lunch right near by
It's beautiful day, yet I feel so stressed out.
My colleagues have some fun, "Chill out, René!"
"Have a good cigar and little coffee!"
 
Once finished, my colleagues, worn out,
call a taxi, but I just feel like jumping.
Running all over Paris, I see a little café
I order a re-caffeinated decaf
 
I get to the office, my secretary says to me,
"You're a little late, I was getting worried!"
I threw her through the window, she was asking for it!
So, I had to go home, but first... a coffee.
 
Waiting for the subway, I'm attacked
when this little old lady asks me, "Might you have the time?"
I crack her head open and push her on the rails
I head home and pour myself... well, you know.
 
"Daddy, Daddy! I'm got the best grade in class!"
"Who the hell cares? Would you stop pissing me off?!"
I start feeling sick in the kitchen, there's a little bit of coffee left.
 
That was a few days ago when I got sick
I am alone in my kitchen drinking coffee
I'll need to sleep, the cops are on their way.
So I nailed shut the door and am having another coffee.
