Humorous Poem

In the midst of my theology research, I came across this paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm, and I thought it was quite appropriate for most college students:

The Joy of Coffee
(A Psalm 23 Paraphrase)

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
it leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
it leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal (tm): for thou art with me;
thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez:
thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the House of Starbuck's for ever.
