VERSATILITY IS THE BEST KINDA' STREET - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

 

Versatility Is The Best Kinda’ Street


Lola didn’t like ColaIt gave her the burps something badJimmy was the Cola guy and when he found out about Lola it made him sadLola’s fave was coffee and Jimmy wondered whyShe would always smile and say something sly, “Coffee is like my type of guy – strong, bold and versatile, too”




Jimmy didn’t know what to doHe quit his job at the soda company and joined the Starbuck’s crewLola liked Jimmy just the way he wasBut, since he now was a coffee man, he knew how to give her a buzz“Gals that are his type were soft, sweet and with dancing feet”, Jimmy saidLola replied, “How bout’ toasty toes in your bed?”Cola couldn’t hold a candle to that certain kind of lovin’ ramble




Percolatin’ was the only way, Jimmy and Lola found out one dayCuddling in a booth at the café, as they shared their first kiss they didn’t know what to sayLola and Jimmy’s hearts were aflutter with the scent of coffee brewin’ in his kitchen the morning afterNice to know a choice of a drink can bring a smile to your flow




Lola knew best, for it was coffee that had the ability to shake things upEither on a Summer day with cubes of ice in a glassOr, in the chill of Winter when the heat is something you want to lastCola is a one-way streetCoffee is a versatile treat
