196. Naught for the Collection

One Two Three
Four Five Six
I’m getting tired sick of this!
Before a single week has passed
Cobwebs have half-filled my glass
Since mugs are my collecting fix
I own close to five plus three and six
Mugs pile the best collector’s heap
For being practical, pretty and cheap –
But damn these fool eight-legged bugs
For building their homes inside of my mugs!
I cannot drink coffee at the breakneck pace
Required to beat their weave-binding race.
So! I have decided to limit the use
Of my mugs for collection and arachnid abuse;
From now on I drink coffee from Styrofoam
That abandons my mugs to cobwebbish loam.
