Coffee Nuts

The world may be spinning into financial chaos, but there's no stopping the coffee nut!
They just keep buying their revered brew. Bring it on, 8oz, 12oz or 16oz cups, and lets not stop at one a day. Line them up, keep it coming.
From all walks of life and all occupations its a common religion amongst the masses. Different brands for different folks, and lets not forget chocolate coated coffee beans.
I really like my coffee customers and they tell me they LOVE me, but arrive late or are unable to show up at all, look out then. I wouldn't miss the countless conversations held at the rear of my coffee van, people get so exhilarated after just a few sips. They have solutions for the worlds economic financial crisis and the jokes, some not so funny but plenty of would be comedians.
You have to learn to switch off when making their drinks, it sometimes feels like group anxiety attacks at the rear of the van as they huddle around gettting closer and closer to my back.
I have likened my work to that of an actor, in the beginning, with such close scrutiny, it was impossible to not feel nervous. Now, I take centre stage, perform in front of eager eyes and enjoy every moment. Coffee customers are adorable. A bit nutty at times but real people.
