INVENTION APPREHENSION
By Lizzi



Let me tell you a story, about a barista. **1**

A miserable soul, by the name of Theresa.

Who dreamed up an idea of a drink most delicious,

But could not tell a soul; her powerful boss was malicious.

For if he had the slightest sip, or glimpse in the kitchen, **5**

He would steal it away, and take all recognition.

Then one day she met a fireman with the nickname “Lance”,

Every time that she saw him, her heart did a dance.

So she told him her secret, divulged her tale of woe,

And Lance had helpful information he’d heard not long ago. **10**

Of a magical company that’s worked many a miracle,

That could get her drink known. She was no longer tearful!

So Lancelot vowed, like a courteous knight,

To take her to the CEO, Merlin, that night.

When all the while, you could see in their eyes, **15**

A romance was brewing. It was no surprise!“

Don’t you worry about this firefighter’s job,” he said,

“Fires are everywhere. I’d rather see you happy instead!”

They left to see Merlin, hoping the best,

That he’d love her new beverage and take care of the rest. **20**

He spoke to Theresa and saw she had the purest of intentions

And said he would work his magic to make hers a successful invention.

This, Merlin achieved, and then even more:

Her drink was such a hit Theresa gave her riches the to the poor.

Many years filled with joy and love proceeded, **25**

Merlin slipped them his love potion, but their love was so pure it was not even needed.

Her boss was defeated, all was right in the end,

And to all wishful dreamers, best wishes these lovers send.
