An Ethiopia Legend

An Ethiopian Legend of many Centuries ago
Tells of a strange bean and where it does grow

It has been traced to the ancient Coffee Forest on the Ethiopian Plateau
Goat herder Kaldi noticed the goats, after eating, exhibited quite a show

Becoming anxious and did not sleep at night
Causing the Goat Herder Kaldi quite a fright

Kali reported his concerns to the Abbott of the Local Monastery
The Abbott made a tea that kept him from becoming quite weary 

Accrediting this to the discovery of  the Coffee Bean of today
Drinking many cups of a morning makes me anxious all day
