When I was eight years old, my father, deeply dissatisfied with my work ethic as a hashish-roller in the family sweatshop, expressed his intentions to make a good, strong workingman of me. One quiet afternoon, he marched onto the factory floor and pulled me outside, to my howls and protests.
"Show me your hands!" he said, and I did.
He sighed, and twisted his face into a stern and steely grimace. "Soft," he said, clutching and appraising my palms. "Like a child's hands! Disgraceful!"
"But Papa!" I protested.
"Nay," he said. "We'll make an honest workingman of you yet, my boy." With that told me to pack a bag. He was sending me abroad, to gain working experience under the tutelage of a fishing-boat captain.
"But I'm eight years old, Papa!" I said.
"Indeed you are," he said. "But it's never too late to change your idle ways!"
That evening I packed my bag as instructed. The next day I shipped off to coastal Ecuador, to serve as a midshipman aboard the 'Penelope,' a French tuna boat captained by a Mr. Honore de Montpierre. Captain Montpierre was a jovial man, but he brooked no laziness from his crew!
In my first few weeks aboard the 'Penelope,' I failed to catch a single tuna-fish, much to my disgrace before my fellow fishermen. I would start work at the crack of dawn, and continue until long after dusk. I would end each day no richer for my labors, and no more successful for the long hours of my travails.
I awoke one morning to the smell of sea-brine, and the sound of large waves crashing and heaving against the rusted broadside of our fishing scow. Amid the sights and sounds and scents of the day, I noticed an earthy, savory-sweet aroma, drifting gently past me. Captain Montpierre noticed, and offered me a cup of deep, dark brew.
"Drink this, little man," he said to me. "This is coffee. This will make you strong!"
Indeed! I drank my fill of the coffee, and after that, another, and another more. My arms came alive with a newfound strength, and my gaze fixed upon the foamy sea with a spirited conviction. Before the day was out, I'd hauled 27 tuna-fish up onto the decks of our boat! Miracle? Providence? Plain luck? No, my friends, it was the coffee. Marley Coffee, in the "One Love" flavor, conveniently stocked aboard our vessel in boxes and boxes of curious little poddings that I'd later learn were called "k-cups."
This coffee gave me the strength to persevere, and the will to press on! I credit the rough, manly hands and unwavering work ethic I have today to the lessons I learned aboard the 'Penelope,' and most especially, to this delectable and bewitching drink! I would not hesitate to recommend these fine coffee-poddings to any workingman the world over!
Can you see me now, Papa?!?! Can you see me now?!! A man! I stand before you, and before the world, no longer a child, but a man!

This product is NOT organic like it says
This product is NOT organic like it says. The recyclable pod is cool but it's difficult to get the filter out and not make a mess. Taste is okay. Won't be buying this again. Very disappointed.
