Not My Cup Of Coffee ~ Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Not My Cup Of Coffee ~

Rating: 5.0


When she left Minnesota...
She left behind her North Star- - -
Heading in the direction of the Aurora Austrailis
She did, indeed, come very far;
Living in Universal City proved boring...
And Burnet was disappointing too! !
San Antonio had a little more to offer
But, too soon again, feeling blue;
Hungering at 55 for yet another change...
It was as if Lampasas had her name
A country road is her latest address...(and we have it)
In this, under the microscope, infamous game;
Working all of the angles - left and right...
Helping her ex get what he always needs......
Oh what a heinous garden they have sowed - - -
For it was done with totally rotten seeds;
They were once a married couple...
Now, she is just another elf for him
The Lone Star State has shone down brightly...
On their each and every whim;
She hasn't got a clue that we know...
For that matter, neither does he...
For he is still utilizing her and the rest of his elves
Continuing on with a crime that we all can see;
No, we haven't been idle here - sir! !
You see, we're very good at what we do
Your first mistake was messing with us -
Even though, you may still have nary a clue;
Here are some words, i offer you two & the elves
We really believe that you should know- -
You were NEVER my cup of coffee - sir! ! ! !
Nope - no way EVER - were you, my cup of Joe;

Sherrie, how nice of you to comment. It's been a long time. Yes, you are correct - lots of angst and very serious feelings in this one. i had never heard of it either until we moved here years ago from Washington State. Have gone through this little town many, many times on travels south...to Austin, San Antonio.
