When I stop to buy my coffee
And when I hold it in my hand
It begins to burn before too long
In the Middle East they found
A new way to hold the hot cup
An invention had been produced
So you could drink it up
They were made from metal
Ornamental in every case
Very practical they proved to be
They helped satisfy your taste
You have seen them in use
When a coffee you did buy
They wrap around your cup
so your fingers do not fry
What is this I speak of?
What name is it named?
Well it is known as a zarf
The hot cup had been tamed
Let me ask you to tell the truth
Before today did you really know?
That they were called a zarf?
Use a zarf with coffee on the go.
Use a zarf with coffee on the go.
Good verse Gregg. I will remember that next time I have coffee.

That is a cool word. I had no idea! Best wishes. I'm glad to have found you. In case you're interested, my final post for the challenge at http://darlamsands.blogspot.com is about zinnias. I am number 1157 on the list now and can’t believe the month is nearly over.
ReplyDeleteHaha. What a great word. Now I'm off to fix some coffee :)

Hello there.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I have come across this word. Another blogger used it for their letter Z too.
Congratulations on surviving the A-Z Challenge! I'm popping over today from the Road Trip. My goal is to visit all the blogs that linked up, before next year's challenge starts up again.
