(My childless, tea-drinking self from years ago would never believe I wrote this.)

Long night, baby cries
I pull up to the drive thru
"Welcome to Starbucks"

Eyes sting from no sleep
"Grande iced mocha with whip"
Mom's Little Helper

Bitter chocolate taste
I'm addicted to mocha
Sweet caffeine mistress

    That's great! I can remember those long sleepless nights. Caffeine is about the only thing that gets you through.

    These made me smile! I am the same way. I was a hard core tea drinker only before the birth of my baby...now a Grande Mocha Frap is like a good shot of speed.

    I know I'm probably the only woman on the planet who doesn't drink coffee. But, maybe a poem for tea? Maybe?

    This speaks to me. If you want it extra strong, ask for a mocha frappucino affogato-style.
