Taylor the Latte Boy
[00:05.68] There's a boy who works at Starbucks
[00:09.91] Who is very inspirational
[00:12.41] He is very inspirational because of many things
[00:18.16] I come in at 8:11
[00:20.91] And he smiles and says: "How are you?"
[00:23.67] When he smiles and says: "How are you?"
[00:26.66] I could swear my heart grows wings!
[00:29.68] So today at 8:11
[00:32.17] I decided I should meet him
[00:34.67] I decided I should meet him
[00:37.18] In a proper formal way
[00:39.67] So today at 8:11
[00:42.42] When he smiled and said: "How are you?"
[00:44.68] I said: "Fine, and my name’s Kristin, "
[00:47.43] And he softly answered: "Hey."
[00:50.17] And I said "My name’s Kristin
[00:52.92] And thank you for the extra foam..."
[01:00.93] And he said his name was Taylor
[01:03.67] Which provides the inspiration for this poem:
[01:10.93] Taylor, the latte boy
[01:15.41] Bring me java, bring me joy!
[01:20.16] Taylor, the latte boy
[01:24.67] I love him, I love him, I love him
[01:29.41] So I’d like to get my nerve up
[01:31.68] To recite my poem musical
[01:33.92] He would like the fact it’s musical
[01:36.16] Because he plays guitar
[01:38.67] So today at 8:11
[01:40.93] Taylor told me he was playing
[01:43.42] In a band down in the village
[01:45.93] In the basement of a bar
[01:48.17] And he smoothly flipped the lever
[01:51.42] To prepare my double-latte
[01:53.42] But for me he made it triple!
[01:55.66] (And he didn’t think I knew)
[01:58.42] But I saw him flip the lever
[02:00.93] And for me he made it triple
[02:03.41] And I knew that triple-latte meant
[02:05.92] That Taylor loved me, too!
[02:08.18] I said: "What time are you playing?
[02:10.91] And thank you for the extra skim..."
[02:18.41] He said: "Keep the $3.55, "
[02:21.16] Because this triple latte was on him
[02:28.66] Taylor, the latte boy
[02:33.17] Bring me java, bring me joy!
[02:37.92] Taylor, the latte boy
[02:42.42] I love him, I love him, I love him
[02:47.68] I used to be the kind of girl
[02:51.67] Who’d run when love rushed toward her
[02:56.42] 'Til finally a voice whispered: "Love can be yours
[03:00.66] If you step up to the counter and order, "
[03:06.16] Taylor, the latte boy
[03:11.42] Bring me java, bring me joy!
[03:15.66] Taylor, the latte boy
[03:20.17] I love him, I love him, I love him
[03:25.16] So many years my heart has waited
[03:29.66] Who’d have thought that love
[03:31.42] Could be so caffeinated?
[03:37.16] Taylor, the latte boy
[03:41.67] I love him, I love him, I love him
[03:47.17] I love him, I love him, I love him!
