Taylor The Latte Boy

Taylor the Latte Boy
Kristen Chenoweth


There's a boy who works at Starbucks
Who is very inspirational.
He is very inspirational because of many things.

I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
I could swear my heart grows wings!

So today at 8:11
I decided I should meet him
I decided I should meet him
In a proper formal way.

So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
I said "Fine, and my name's Kristin"
And he softly answered, "Hey."

And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…"
And he said his name was Taylor,
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:

Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…

So I'd like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical.
He would like the fact it's musical
Because he plays guitar.

So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.

And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,
But for me he made it triple! And he didn't think I knew
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!

I said, "What time are you playing?
And thank you for the extra skim…"
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him.
Taylor the latte boy,
Bring me java, bring me joy!
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him…

I used to be the kind of girl
who'd run when love rushed toward her.
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours,
if you step up to the counter, and order."

Taylor, the latte boy
Bring me java, bring me joy
Oh Taylor the latte boy
I love him, I love him, I love him.

So many years my heart has waited,
Who'd have thought that love could be so caffeinated?

Taylor, the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him.

I love him,
I love him,
I love him.

wings!

  • There was some chain store at some beaches called Wings. But I think Alvins Island baught them out...
  • Why do penguins have wings if they can't fly? Why do ostriches have them?
  • Do kiwis have wings?... It doesn't look like they do...
  • But wait! Are kiwis even birds? I thought they were, but now I'm doubting myself....
  • Don't bother commenting and saying "A Kiwi is a fruit." Because i allready thought of that pun and I just beat you to it... Ha!
  • Maybe penguins' "wings" should be refered to as arm flaps or something...
  • Does the definition of wings constitute they must fly?
  • It bothers me that people always are trying to trick me with the whole "how many wings does a butterfly have?" They have four, ok! Everyone knows that!

    A kiwi can be a person from New Zealand- like a yank is from the us...
    Hope that helps!
