C is for Coffee

C is for coffee
Blest dark and bitter brew
C is for chocolate
If dark and bitter too

C is for comestible
Consumable, and cool
Tempted and investible
My appetite's a fool 

C is for culpable
Complicit, I admit
C is for conscience
Dulled--yes, I'm fine with it 

Conscience convoluted 
Is a tender, bitter brute
If not deeply rooted
It bears rotten fruit

C is for the Christ child
Creator's joyful play
C is for the cross, wild
History's worst day

Christ for our benefit
Drained the bitter and the dross
C is in incarnate
As in cradle as in cross
