I have a guilt ridden secret, a single desire
it’s a deep throaty tickle that would light my fire
It’s a naughty little want and I’ll tell it to you
In the form of a simple, catchy Haiku

Thank you! I was fed up of being serious.
I haven’t been well lately, and I felt that the coffee may be contributing to the problem ( I didn’t drink ANYTHING but coffee until about two weeks ago) so I’ve cut it down to one cup a day. I’m still shaking, still fainting, still getting confused etc. the only difference is that my fingers maybe don’t tingle so much.

Oh bless you heart!! I know I need to cut back, and don’t do 2 pots every day, just don’t relish the headaches that will come along with the withdrawal…..

I have been devoted to strong coffee for forty years, and yet my headache was gone by day two – come to think of it, I was getting strange pains at the back of my head, but they have calmed down since I cut down.

Oh no! I’ve been caught out! Ok! I stole that eloquent poem from your husband! I’m a plaguerist!
But this one is all mine:

That one is all mine, and did you notice the clever twist at the end?

Should I post it? Nah. I don’t want to overwhelm my readers with my intellect.
BTW. Further to your post about the silly things your neighbours say, I overheard a phone call on a bus. The woman was giving someone a short shopping list which included fruit. At the end of the call she said “Oh! Don’t bother about the fruit, just get wine gums instead.” (I don’t have wine gums over there. They’re hard jelly candies.)

Because candy and fruit are pretty much the same thing. Right? Hahaha. That’s great.

You know what? I messed that up. It was fruit gums. I didn’t realise I had written wine gums!
I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not a Freudian slip. I don’t drink.

Ha ha! I’d make you a pot, but I may be tempted to drink a cup of it, and I really have to knock it on the head.

This post on coffee addiction made me laugh. I once travelled in the former Soviet Union and after four days without coffee I had to ask the host if she had some. I was feeling so low and the headache was unbearable. O how it helped to get a cup

I understand exactly how you felt.
When I went to India I took my own ground coffee and everwhere I went I asked for a cup of boiling water. I would spoon the coffee into it and drink it, grounds and all!

Sometimes I think my brain is one of those odd shaped balls, that zings randomly all over the place, and I have no control over it. It only stops when I look out of my window at the sunset, ar the windturbines, and then it a single word will whirr around: “sky sky sky” or “spin spin spin”.
Reading that last sentence back suddenly has me worried…
