What I almost did

I almost woke up this morning before my alarm clock 
almost went off at the time I had set it 
almost eight and a half hours ago.  

I almost got out of bed before my alarm clock 
almost went off and then 
almost went into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee that I  
almost made in the coffee maker.  

I almost made breakfast before I 
almost made the coffee in my coffee maker but I  
almost thought I should wait and go to Starbucks.  

I almost stopped at Starbucks this morning after I  
almost made coffee in my coffee maker but I  
almost got to work late so I didn’t stop.
