Latte's, Mochas, Cappuccinos abound
But poor ol' Joe is nowhere to be found.
Espresso's "the thing," "all the rage," they say.
Do you take yours skinny? Tall or Grande?

If it keeps you up way past your bedtime,
Drinking "Decaf," instead, is your best line.

But if, like me, you don't go for this stuff,
Then join my quest, mind you it may be tough.
Our mission's quite clear, we just want to know
What happened to our plain ol' Cup o' Joe?
