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 come 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 Kristin"

And he softly answered, "Hey."

And I said "My name is Kristen, 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!

Oh Taylor the latte boy,

I love him, I love him, I love him…

So 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.

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

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

And 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 that 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!

Oh 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.

But 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

Oh 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.
