Contrary to popular belief
I do not need coffee
to wake up in the morning
I NEED MY COFFEE TO BE
ALREDY AWAKE AND ON
THE JOB! WHAT IS WRONG…
Sorry.
I do not need coffee
in order for ME to wake up
in the morning
though it does come in
extremely handy
and is therefor mandatory
in the limited set of
circumstances as such:
*Speaking coherently
*Hearing coherently
*Understanding…
stuff
*Functioning in ways
normally ascribed to
reasonable human
behavior
especially in regards
to the workplace
There are other, very
specific situations
in which coffee is required
should you want any
participatory action from me.
Any deviation from these
specifics as put forth
will be dealt with in the
harshest terms possible in
terms of law, and good sense.
Unless there is no
coffee
rendering all other rationality
moot.
So sayeth the Oracle.
Or Mr. Coffee.
I get those two confused
all the time.

This was crated in hour 22 seems like the writer was reminiscing over coffee to keep them awake 😎
Fantastic. Humorously self-effacing! For me? It’s Diet Rootbeer! 🙃
I laughed out loud reading this poem, how many cups of the stuff did you take to stay awake. ..must be a lot.
Ha! Actually…not many. By this point in the marathon I was about an hour from my normal wake-up time, and basically just started my coffee an hour early.
Though I will cop to some late-night Mountain Dew chugging! 😂
Well done, Mark. I especially like the part that veers toward legal document language. Your sense of humor rocks!
