JOHNNY-JOHNNY-JOHNNY!!!
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 johnny,"
and he softly answered, "hey."
and i told him "my name's johnny, 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,
who'd have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
taylor, the latte boy,
i love him, i love him, i love him.
i love him, i love him, i love him.
i love you, johnny t.
