Hobbits famously tell of their
dietary habits
especially mornings
most definitely
second breakfast
Not living in a cozy shire
nor having large
fairly hairy feet
I can still speak to the
efficacy of breakfast two
For second breakfast
simply put
is actually fifth coffee
or sixth coffee
depending on cup size
second breakfast/fifth coffee
depending on day
also serves as
placeholder between
wake-up and first nap or
first nap and second nap
or even couch nap
and porch nap
not to be confused with
porch coffee and
deck coffee, a decidedly
enhanced fresh
take on additional
morning sustenance and
just pass the damn sugar

Soooo, hungry AND in need of caffeine in this hour! 😉 One thing I love about your writing–no matter the hour, you never lose your sense of humor.
Thank you, Tracy.
I had to read it multiple times Mark, as I wanted to travel with your coffees, into your porch and your gentle humour.
Thank you, really enjoyed this.
Thank you, Anjana. Much appreciated.
Stop by the porch sometime!
We should create a coffee club based on this poem and name it
Just Pass the damn Sugar.
Also the third stanza could very well be screened to a shirt and trademarked.
The use of all of your writerly skills shine through in this poem
Thank you and don’t get upset if you ever see me in a shirt with your stanza three
Ha! Thanks for the great response.
Have at the t-shirt idea.
I am certainly open to an online coffee club of poets.
