I have a coffee sprite...
Living behind my coffee pot in the sugar bowl
he's friend with the house brounie
and often invites him over for tea
When he's not socialising he's cleaning up after me
On the top of his head is a wonderful mop of hair
the colour of a mocha-choca-latte-caramel-swirl-foamed-chino
he uses it for mopping up my spills
sponging up the coffee with his lovely coffee coloured curls
I am a messy drinker I leave coffee stains wherever I go
from coffee rings on the table to drips on the floor
I'm just a very lucky lady that when it comes to cleaning
there is nothing my coffee sprite loves more.
