Pemberley: September 2008

Taylor the Latte boy's response...

very clever...

There's a girl who comes to Starbucks
and i think she has a crush on me
I can tell she has a crush on me
thats too big to ignore
she comes in here every morning
at exactly 8:11
when the clock says 8:11
she comes walking through the door

then one fateful monday morning
as she made her usual entrance
i could tell that she was nervous and she has something to say

and i smoothly flipped the lever
to prepare her double latte
and she said her name was Carol
and i came back with "hey"
and i said my name was Taylor
and here's a little extra foam
as she left i cleaned her table
and i found a folded napkin with 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 should have got my nerve up
and just said i wasn't interested
but since she was clearly interested
it all got out of hand

cause before i found her poem
we had had this coversation
i had told i was playin
in the village with my band

when i walked in friday evening
to our gig in Arthurs basement
i saw carol in the front row
and i heard her scream my name

then my friend said man she's crazy
she's been here since 7:30
and she told me she's your girlfriend
and she's really glad she came
and then when our gig was over she followed me the whole way home
as I ran to try and lose her
i composed another version of her poem

Carol The Stalker Chick
your a psycho and you are sick
oh, carol the stalker chick
you scare me
you scare me
you scare me

I used to be the kind of guy
who never was rude or doubting
but now i've got this lunatic freak in my life
every night now at my window she's shouting

Taylor! the latte boy!
go away im not your toy!
Taylor the latte boy
is calling
is calling
the police

many a girl has let me court her
but i've never needed a restraining order
Carol! come find me now
i'm tranferring to a new starbucks
there's 20 on each block
so gooooooooooood luck!

Taylor the Latte Boy

Kristin sings....

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

Kristin Cheno..again..wooohooo!

"So Close" Enchanted..

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
