In about a week Prospect Heights will no longer be Starbucks-free.
--Prospect Heights Patch
Where now to find a Starbucks-free zone?
To see this El Dorado on my own
I jumped on a speedy rocket-fueled trolley
Headed for points Midwest, and by golly
Landed in Chicago and looked around--
No sign of such was to be found.
So on I plugged to old Cincinnati
In search of folks not coffee-batty.
Again the same, as it was in Milwaukee,
Where the locals don't drink but sure are talky.
And so it went out West and South
Unearthing no strangers-to-caffeine mouth.
The whole country, if my eyes don't deceive,
Is coffee-palace-crazed, I believe.
Medical repercussions, I leave to others,
Concerned doctors and worried mothers;
But consider, for the screenwriter caucus
The Starbucks tables supply an office
Where bigbucks dreamers can type and get high
On just a single cup of chai.
