yes, it's called  a haiku. a haiku has 3 lines: 1st and 3rd lines have 5 syllables and the 2nd has 5 syllables.

Yesterday is history. Tommorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that&#039;s why they call it the present.

This is so short (Haiku, duh!) and cute and splendid and I just love it and I really don't know why. Is just great. I like the use of the hyperbole, and how much you say by just mentioning cups of cofee.

^.^

personification is giving human life to an inanimate object. such as saying that the bag is sitting on the ground, it's not technically sitting, but yeah. so I don't think that this is it.

I didn't literally mean a thousand cups of coffee. It's called hyperbole.

The length bothers you? It's a haiku. Haikus are ONLY 17 syllables long. That's the point.
