I was standing in line for coffee,
When my gag reflex was triggered
A stench so foul it left me coughing;
A smell worse than I'd ever figured.

"Isn't that unsanitary,
Drinking poo like that?"
"In all my years of living,
nothing good's ever come from a cat."

"Oh no", replied the Starbucks guy,
"These beans, we always inspect em'",
"And Juan Valdez scoops only the best
As soon as they leave the cat's rectum."

"And what's more,
The civet's a very clean species
There's nothing impure at all
About a fresh pile of it's feces"

"Thanks", I said, "I think I'll pass",
so instead I picked up a soda
I saw that the label read "Coke e-coli"
Put down it I did, (to quote Yoda.)
