Ode to a Proper Coffee

Ode to a Proper Coffee by Jo-Ann Hughes

Victorious they set off wide and far,

hoping not to stop,

the Magi following the distant star

detoured to a coffee shop.

Masked, a wrap round lips and nose

‘espresso, late, cappuccino’, rang

excitement caused a merry dance

when proper coffee cup arose.

Worshipping, the Magi sang,

in a queue with social distance.
