It is harder than you think
More coffee won't help

yep...gotta appreciate that one Robert! :-)
Don't know about the coffee thing though...I swear coffee always helps, but not as much as getting enough sleep!
Here is my limerick contribution to the subject:
There was a productive PM \
Who drank coffee and ate M&Ms \
She laughed and she led \
She gave talks to the TED \
Her skills aimed at avoiding mayhem!

Nice! I have to moderate my coffee. Drinking too much removes my filters. Filters are good in PM.

I see your point! (and it made me laugh)
Filters are good for PM, perhaps as important as for fish tanks. A few unfiltered comment could tank a PM!
To be honest, I try to never drink coffee after two in the afternoon, the results are bad!
To filter or blurt /
Maybe that is the question /
Nope, Robert's right here!

Another great one. I guess it happens to all of us...
BTW, in my experience coffee does increase productivity, not by increasing efficiency, but effectiveness as it provides those crucial moments to pause and think. And anyway it makes things more bearable ;-)

And we can't forget it that coffee keeps us "regular".
Your haikus 'espresso' the key points, with 'latte' meaning . :)
