NaPoWriMo Poem #1

HOT COFFEE

Coffee to go, slice of banana bread

early morning class; need to clear my head

Sandwich board sign stands outside by the drive 

"Going out of business" - thought it would thrive

Cars in front of me rely on them, too

What had happened to cause them to be through?

I in my winter scarf still, felt saddened

I ordered and asked her what had happened

She asked me what day it was; I answered

April 1- that's when she said "April Fools!"

I laughed, said it was the best prank I'd seen

in a long time, told her I was relieved

Thank goodness any morning I need one,

I can rely on them still, fresh coffee, hot
scent of which my brain finally received

Happy April Fools Day NaPoWriMo
