Coffee Breakdown



Her fury is sizzling hot
It''ll burn Marvin's criminal blot
When she trots out the java
It's a shot of hot lava
As, in turn, Grahame gives him the pot.


Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin feel The Big Heat (Fritz Lang, 1953). Next week, Lang's German roots and a few of his silent films.

Who cares if it was mountain-grown
or good to the last drop when thrown?
The act was quite rude
I mean, what was brewed
T'was de-caf, the Joe known as Joan

Joan...? Joan Bennett? That was yesterday's star, Norm. Am I missing something?

T'was de-caf, no filter, no cone.

I'm missing a BRAIN.

You don't need a quorum or gang
to make up one's own kind of slang
Its life span is short
and quick to abort,
replaced by some new kind of "lang"
