The word coffee – an English version in 1582 from (Dutch koffie, Turkish kahve, Arabic qahwah). The story goes an Ethiopian goat herder 800AD, noticed his goats were acting strangely after eating berries. The herder tried them and found them very invigorating also. He took them to a monk who thought they were the devil’s product and threw them in the fire, thus causing a pleasing aroma and the rest is history!
Sweet or plain
Coffee sustains
Many a crew, even me and you
A morning cup of Joe
When your work is going slow
You will be stimulated
By drinking caffeinated
Whether hot or iced
Brain is enticed
Production increased
As caffeine released
Alert and focused now
A warning on how
Can make you irritated
And twitterpated
Raising blood pressure
Four cups is top measure
A useful stay alert tool
But follow the rules
Don’t get obsessed
Enjoy not to access.

Enjoy it in moderation
