     “Break fluid”

              R.R. Anderson

Is coffee really “break fluid?”

Well, for sure it’s not brake fluid.

But why do some people call it “machine oil” or “battery acid?”

It definitely seems to lubricate interactions between your brain and your body,

and , for that matter, between people.

And, like batteries, it is an acidic power source.

But calling it “mud?” 

Well, it does create grounds.

Then some name it “paint remover.”

I guess those folks like it that strong.

Well, good old “Joe” is a warm companion, and provides a stimulating reaction, doesn’t he?

No matter what you call it, cafe noir, or adding cream, cafe au lait, coffee is the best pick-me-up

on the planet
