Caffeine

 

TeaOh Caffeine, you nasty ghoul!
 
You flirted with me and made me the fool.
 
I’d resisted your lure for a small season,
 
Then made a decision without rational reason.
 
The piper is now being payed his due,
 
I’m wishing I hadn’t indulged in that brew.
 
For the hour is late, yet here I remain…
 
I alertly anticipate the sleep I will feign.
