Caramel Frappacino Venti

Heart racing,
fumbling, tearing,
straw unwrapped.
Frozen, sweet and heavenly,
it is to sample your loveliness.

Drawing deeply,
cheeks fill with joy.
Verily is there a word
greater than love?
Searching deep,
I find only one.
Coulds thou be Frappacino,
beloved above all?

Half slurpee, half coffee,
a hybrid refreshment
to tantalize the tongue
and freeze the brain.

How sweet the cold pain?
Damn you Starbucks,
evil Empire of our age.
Damn you to hell.

Please may I have another?

Hehe, this was written in such a humored way. Brilliantly funny and true. I am a coffee addict and love just about everyting that gets done with it, especially a Frappacino. Awesome job.

Brilliant! We all have our demons, hey? I feel this way about The Jeremy Kyle show (similar to Jerry Springer), I HAVE to watch - even though it makes me want to hurl myself at a wall - I can't stop!
