Caffeine is my Shepherd
My daughter and son were avid coffee drinkers when they were at home and regularly went through jars of instant coffee in quick time. When the chance came to get percolator out and have REAL coffee, then the aroma around the house was lovely until they returned to Uni. I’m almost certain my son’s dissertation was written under the full influence of caffeine and my daughter could have suffocated in hers as the mixture was so thick at times as she drank it.
I saw this skit of The Lord Is My Sheppard quote and knew my daughter would love it. The plaque is made out of a 10” long and 4” wide piece of pine, so painting the quote on took time and patience of a saint. As you can tell, my painting writing is a bit wobbly, but the owl was carved before being painted. It hangs in her kitchen above the caffetiere standing guard.
CAFFEINE IS MY SHEPHERD
Caffeine is my Shepherd, I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures.
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses
It restoreth my Buzz.
It leadeth me into the path of consciousness for its namesake,
yea I walk through the valley of addiction, I will fear no equal,
for thou art with me: thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me,
Thou preparest a cafetière before me in the presence of the Starbucks,
Thou anointest my day with PEP!!
My mug runneth over,
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in a coffee house forever
