Have You Thanked Your Drink Holder Today?

By Timothy Nebleaux

Hi! I'm your cup holder. Welcome to my world. A world where I am useful to people from all walks of life, and I serve the purpose of holding your drinks while you work. My life is anything but drab. I help people to avoid spilling their drinks. I make sure that important things like attending to writing, reading and working on your computer are made possible by my presence without you having to forego your morning drink.

Talking about slips, I make sure that you avoid slipping your cup and spilling your coffee. So that your nice shirt doesn't get stained in the process. If you have bought your breakfast and walked to your work place, you definitely don't want to miss out on opening your mails, yet, not having your coffee as well.

If you are driving, I am there by your side to keep your cup safe and sound so that it does not spill on to the floor. As a matter of fact, I'm always there whenever and wherever you need me. I'm portable and mobile and you can find me at the unlikeliest of places.

As you operate your mobiles on hands free mode, you can operate me on both hands free and hands full mode. Hands free in the sense that you can do your work and when you have your hands full, I let your hands worry about one less thing.

You don't have to invest a lot to get me to your service. Nor am I cheap. You'd probably get me for the price of two movie tickets. Isn't that a good deal? Instead of taking your sweetheart to the theater, you can buy me; I'm always around when you need me. And what more than having me to do your bidding throughout my tenure.

I'm disposable yet never indisposed. I'm there till you send me to the recycle bin. Not that you can't recover me, if need me. I'm present in a different avatar after I am processed and recycled and made into something else. As they say, moving on. You may get another one, but, you should remember me for my service to you.

All this is metaphorical stuff. Cause I'm usually tall in size. And my girth would make people laugh at me if I were human. That's okay. I am used to jokes about my appearance. As I sign off, I would ask you to appreciate me, a little at a time.
