| 283. Coffee The people just stood with stoic emotion Waiting to order their favorite coffee drink Though similar refreshment cost less elsewhere They preferred the expensive taste or so they did think But poor Manuel who toiled for long hours Didn’t care who bought or used his beans He just knew that they all bought his crop Sold to the spoiled for a thousand times it seems Manuel didn’t care that he made so little When compared to what the green monster paid He just knew that he charged half as much For others to experience the coffee he made Sure he knew that his crop was renowned It was served in over a thousand stores But all he cared was that it tasted good A fitting testimony to the success of his chores Alas the poor Americans were but fools For their coffee money built him a scam They simply provided Manuel a fitting cover To camouflage growing drugs on the lam So as you drink that special brew Manuel thanks you for your helping part Insuring drugs make it through our back door |
