Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Flipped My Lid

I went to a Starbucks and did

Order some coffee which I got.

Walking away, off popped the lid.

I felt pain from spilt coffee hot.

Of course I felt this cause to sue

Starbucks for having a lid flaw.

Dream of getting Starbucks bucks grew,

Surely must be some broken law.

To court goes my coffee lid case,

The legal issues to discuss.

But  all too brief in time and place

My dream case is deemed frivolous.

My case is thrown out, gavel pounds.

The judge says that I have no grounds.
