On My Break from Boxing

  
Yesterday morning, after three gruelling rounds,

I managed to single-handedly defeat 

my two daring opponents, dust and dirt, 

in yet another weekly boxing victory.

I rewarded myself with a cup of strong, 

Greek coffee, the healthy heavyweight of brews!

Reaching for my daily dose of caffeine,

I noticed that a sketchy scene was stamped on

 my cup, from the froth that forms upon steaming.

What, pray tell, does this look like to you? 

Maybe something like the above?

Now, I may be bouncing off the walls, just

 a teeny bit, (yes, from that java hit) -
even so, battling dust and dirt,
 can drive the best of domestic athletes

briefly bonkers, but, I am not too dizzy 

to recognize a tree when I see one, 

whether it's perched on a mountain top, 

or carved out on crockery!
A tree is a tree, don't you agree?

Some of you may be wondering,

'Why all the fuss?'.

Well, you see, here in Greece,
the foamy debris, from your morning coffee 
reads like a mini marquee of your future!

 Thus,
My single, lush, leafy tree
symbolizes a content family,
(extended, included).
And for that, 
I sincerely am grateful.

Thanks for visiting!
