The two contenders joust with poetry:
\nA caffeine-fueled SF sonnet slam.
\nFragano takes the part of honest tea
\nAnd Will is coffee’s advocate. Hot damn!
\nThe verses fly. Will has the grounds to show
\nHis drink produces forceful, urgent verse.
\nFragano’s meditative sonnets go
\nTo prove that tea leaves poets none the worse.
\nNow me, I drink them both, but take up arms
\nAgainst the two as well, if they’re not bought
\nFrom sources where the people on the farms
\nThat grow them are rewarded as they ought.
\nSo write your verse and drink your drinks, you two,
\nBut just make sure it’s Fairtrade when you brew.<\/p>\n
