Drinking Knowledge (Free verse) by gregsamsa222
Coffee goes well with physics But only without cream and sugar. Physics takes it black. Add cream for western lit, Sugar, too, for Elizabethan. If you’re Studying contemporary, however, you Might want to stick to black. Geometry needs no drink. Geometry only needs a bagel, Preferably cinnamon raisin. No one knows what goes best With the study of religion. It is best left a mystery, I suppose. A latte for philosophy, and only in A paper cup, no lid, plenty of foam. Water for anatomy, seltzer for economics. Nothing goes well with tea, which is why The elderly sit in tight bunches, sipping From teacups and speaking of absence. The only things that compliment whisky Are the Romantics and world history— Excepting of course western civ, which Requires a strong mixed drink made up of Fruit and rum. Beer for mythology. Wine For the law. And when you study ethics, I’d recommend a heroin shot and a nice blueberry scone.
