Limerick Ode To Espresso & Cappuccino
I was alarmed to learn that I missed National Cappuccino Day on November 8th. Then again, every day is Cappuccino Day in my house. (If I didn’t have my own machine, I could never afford my cappuccino habit.)
But all is not lost: Today, November 23rd, is National Espresso Day.
Close enough.
Limerick Ode To Espresso & Cappuccino
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Espresso alone doesn’t please me.
You must add something more to appease me:
Steamed milk, lots of foam,
And you’re just about home.
Just make sure it’s not bitter. Don’t tease me!

This is wonderful, Mads! Cappuccino and latte – hard to choose between them. :)
ha…i can def drink espresso…drop it in some black coffee for a black eye…hold the frufru…smiles.
Very clever poem, though I admit I am not a fan of either expresso or cappuchino! Smiles.
This would be me! Probably every morning!
Not a coffee drinker, I relate to this sweet little piece on many levels. You always entertain, Madeline Begun Kane!
I feel the same way about my tea! Love your clever limericks. I must try this form once I get my fill of haiku/haiga.
Fun limerick…not a fan of coffee, never had expresso…but am a fan of yours …this is my cup of tea ☺
Oh, this is delicious. Am a hardcore coffee-addict, so could relate to every little bit, Madeline Begun Kane! I loved this…
Esspresso with dark brown sugar will be enough for me! You’ve prompted me – think I might…
I use to work in a coffee shop. One gal wanted a triple espresso! There was barely enough room to make a double…
I wonder how long she stayed awake?
You and I could definitely drink together! Hopefully some day… either a bar or a coffee shop. :)
