Taylor, The Latte Boy

There's a boy who works at Starbucks

Who is very inspirational.

He is very inspirational because of many things.

I walk in at 8: 11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"

When he smiles and says, "How are you?"

I could swear my heart grows wings!

So today at 8: 11

I decided I should meet him

I decided I should meet him

In a proper formal way.

So today at 8: 11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"

I said "Fine, and my name's Carol,"

And he softly answered, "Hey."

And I told him "My name's Carol, and thank you for the extra foam..."

And he said his name was Taylor,

Which provides the inspiration for this poem:

Taylor the latte boy,

Bring me java, bring me joy!

Taylor the latte boy,

I love him, I love him, I love him...

Well I'd like to get my nerve up

To recite my poem musical.

He would like the fact it's musical

Because he plays guitar.

And today at 8: 11, Taylor told me he was playing

With a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.

As he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,

But for me he made it triple! (And he didn't think I knew)

But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,

And I knew the triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!

I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim..."

He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him.

Taylor the latte boy,

Bring me java, bring me joy!

Taylor the latte boy,

I love him, I love him, I love him...

I used to be the kind of girl

Who'd run when love rushed toward her.

Till finally a voice whispered, "Love can be yours,

If you step up to the counter and order.

Taylor the latte boy,

Bring me java, bring me joy!

Taylor the latte boy,

I love him, I love him, I love him...

So many years my heart has waited,
