TASTE THE COFFEE

Taste the coffee
But I hate the stuff,
It tastes rank
Foreign muck,
Utter wank
Spit or suck.
Give me tea
Anyday,
That's how we roll
Anyway.
The English language
Is mine to say,
Not for you
To have your way.
Hundreds of years
Perfecting it,
French and Latin
Germanic shit,
All moulded in
To do their bit.
But, it's English
And Englands own
A major hit,
And us alone
Can tame its wit.
Taste the coffee
Cream and sugar?
Or bend over
Allow the bugger,
Probably feel
A little smugger.
Instant or grind
A decent cup
Is hard to find,
Give an Englishman tea
Anyday,
Take your coffee
And fade away.
