Sarcastic, Snarling Sassy Sizzling, Snarky Smarmy Coffee Thoughts


I like to start my day with a hot cup of Sarcastic, Snarling, Sassy, Sizzling, Snarky, Smarmy coffee
I pound down the coffee

Lights up my lonesome room

As I pound down that first cup of coffee
And fire up my synaptic nerve endings with endless supplies
Of caffeine-induced neuron enhancing chemicals
I face the dawning day with trepidation and mind-numbing fear

I turn on the TV and watch the smarmy newscasters in their perfect hair
Lying through their teeth about the great success the government is having
Following the great leader's latest pronouncements

I want to scream and shoot the TV
And run outside
Shouting "Stop the world. I want to get off this f***ing crazy planet"



The earth does not care a whit about my attitude
It merely shrugs and moves around the Sun
In its appointed daily run

And I sit down
The madness dissipating a bit
And enjoy my second cup
Of heaven and hell
In my morning cup of Joe
