Lock Down Coffeeholic
The saga of choosing the right drink during the lockdown.

My drinking habits changing, Which isn’t a surprise. Being stuck in lockdown, Liquid refreshment on the rise.
I started off on green tea, It was meant to be refreshing. But couldn’t stand the taste of it, And the cost was quite depressing.
Hot chocolate is the next one up, Luxurious and dreamy. The palette found it too much work, Too rich and far too creamy.
English tea was one to try, Might make me prim and proper. But filled my bladder far to fast, Jump around like a grasshopper.
So now I think that coffees up, Oh my, what a selection. I think this could be my next drink, I think it might be heaven.
So tried a couple, hit the spot, But not easy on the budget. Lockdown policy now in place, Drink coffee by the bucket.
