When I was young, I thought it a dream,
To drink simple hot coffee with sugar and cream,
When a teen I turned, I discovered it nice,
To drink hot coffee poured over ice.
While others laughed at my simple delight,
I found myself at latte stands, spending the night,
The textures, the aromas, the delicate savors,
Soon they had more choices than 31 Flavors!
I could have full strength, or half caf or skinny or not,
I could have it with whipped cream, or frozen or hot,
Soon I discovered I no longer had to wait for the brew,
Because at grocery stores, they had cold in the bottle, too!
I found myself cramming the packs in my cart,
Oh the excitement! The thrill in my heart!
I could fill my pantry, my closets, my cupboards and more!
I could stock them until they spilled out my front door!
Soon I was drinking at least 30 a day,
My clothing got tight, but I deigned not to weigh.
A chilled one under my pillow and on the nightstand,
While I clenched two different flavors, one in each hand.
This cycle of madness continued for years,
Until I had bought all of them up and was left with my tears.
Coffee had been my downfall, what would become of me?
Excuse me? Does anyone know where I might buy some tea?
The devil cruised down the internet,
He was looking for a soul to hack,
He was tired of games and chat room names,
Sick of playing "You Don't Know Jack".
He came upon this Temple,
Stood a man with a bucket on his head,
His pike in hand, ready to make a stand,
Having returned from a cryotube dead.
Now the devil knew this man was a king,
When it came to making HTML real.
"I'll bet frappuccinos in bags, you don't know your tags,"
And the two shook hands on the deal.
The devil took up his keyboard,
And prepared to type his string,
His fingers flew while his face turned blue,
Then he uploaded the whole darn thing!
It said:
Fire on the mountain, run boys run!

Our bucket headed boy's head jerked back with a laugh,
He said, "Devil, old boy, you just don't know the half!"
"Take a seat right over there, and learn from the One!"
"Better take some notes 'cause I'll show you how its done!"

The devil chewed his fingernails, 'cause he knew that he was beat.
He laid his IBM keyboard on the ground at Booji's feet.
Booji looked victorious 'cause he knew he would keep his soul,
While the Devil would search new victims all the way to Jackson Hole.

No one tells Booji where to go!
