Beautiful Betti (Bipolar Barista)

I used to frequent a now defunct coffee shop where one of the people who worked there was like the "Soup Nazi" especially when it came to decaf coffee. Apparently, decaf was a big problem, as when it changed ownership, they rarely had it ready. There must have been more demand than they thought, because they're out of business.

Beautiful Betti (Bipolar Barista)

There are two sides to stories

And this has more than one

Occasionally hard to be around

But most times she was fun

Her life consists of lattes

Espresso and the like

But miss that medication

And it's Hitler and the Third Reich!

One day, preparing decaf

For a regular named Joe

We noticed that the service

Was just a tad bit slow

Betti snapped at customers

Prepared the drinks all wrong

Some made a guess "It's PMS!"

Or an ill-fitting thong

"Something's amiss with this coffee Miss

She's manically depressed!"

The biggest clue? She came unglued

And broke the coffee press

A sight to see so violently

She whipped a mango drink

And fruity parts strewn near and far

From front door to the sink

Just then, with cup, boyfriend shows up

Says "You forgot your pills!"

She takes a dose, prepares rich roast

And coffee cups, she fills
