Something wrong about coffee

Something wrong about coffee
something wrong but I never knew
probably too late for me
addicted since seventy-four
but I need to share
this bit of odd wisdom
something wrong about coffee
something wrong but I never knew

Taught by our biggest cat
the Siamese hidden in plain sight
wearing a tuxedo suit
but his voice giving him away
something wrong about coffee
something wrong but I never knew
but watching what he does
certainly gives me great pause

You see he doesn’t like coffee
like multi-cat litter box
something wrong about coffee
something wrong but I never knew
the same with fresh coffee
6:00am on the counter
the same with cold coffee
5:00pm on my computer desk

He knows there is something wrong
something pungent, off-putting
scratching the counter, my papers
as if he could cover that smell
something very wrong about coffee
something wrong but I never knew
something smelling bad, at least for him
needing to be covered up
