Ode to Nescafé

    Oh powdery substitute
    When we meet I tremble
    From overdose
    Caffeine or sugar, I'm never sure
    Keep your ideal ratio guarded
    Like a state secret, impossible to determine
    Better with milk, but best with powdered milk,
    strangely. Kindred spirits maybe
    But I always find you
    Wherever I am
    Unpretentious
    Accessible
    A loyal chicory comrade
