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.
