Iced Chocolate Coffee
Karyn Indursky
August 2012

Once upon a time Princess Mocha Cappuccino
was traveling on a French Vanilla waffle
to see Sir Latte...

Through forests of Ginseng
she sang like a werewolf,
which woke up the zombie.

Grouchy, the zombie used his catapult
to launch pellets of peppermint patties
to knock her off the waffle.

Falling, Princess Mocha shrieked
for she didn't want to be drown
in the river of butterscotch rum.

Hearing a damsel in distress
Prince Espresso dashed out
the door to her rescue.

Princess Mocha Cappuccino was rattled,
but Prince Espresso escorted her
to Sir Latte through storms of
Starburst, Nerds, and Werther's Originals.

Sir Latte was grateful
to Prince Espresso and Princess Mocha Cappuccino
for they were delivering his
Iced Chocolate Coffee.

He went to give them a present
and they were ecstatic to open
their package.

Underneath all of the paper
was an apple, but instead of being fresh
there was a wiggling worm.

This pissed off the Prince and Princess.
What a rip off?!
All that work and effort for a nasty ol' apple.

Out came the Prince's secret wand
he had borrowed from the wizard
in case of an emergency.

He turned Sir Latte into crab cakes
with a side order of hashbrowns,
but Madam Latte showed up
angrier than a sea monster
since she had intended to drink Sir Latte
as a mango smoothie later.

Madam Latte stole his wand
and changed Prince Espresso into
a cheese-steak.

Princess Mocha Cappuccino was furious!
Prince Espresso was her best friend.
Without blinking an eye, she took the wand
and made Madam Latte into a
slice of pizza.
