In a quaint little coffee shop, across the street

The town folk get together, to have a little treat

Every morning, like clockwork, they arrive at eight

To get their favorites, from a gal, they call her Kate

Now, let me tell you a bit, about this dear ole lady

Some folks say her coffee’s, tasting kind of shady

They claim it has a hint of peach, just a bit fruity

But Kate says no, it can’t be, blaming it on Judy!

The folks suspect, they’re in cahoots, those two

Even the tea was off, smelled like hazelnuts, eew!

Seems the lovely ladies, had been having some fun

Switching up the drinks, before the day was done

They began to laugh, thinking they had pulled a gem

Until the folks, tossed the drinks, right back at them

People Watching ~ #poetry of #life

I sit, watching, as they go about their day

Never looking up to see the world, nose glued

To whatever electronic device they happen to have

A woman trips, but picks up her pace,

Even more hurried, two others sit, chatting,

Seemingly unaware they are not alone

The din of an otherwise empty coffee shop

Is music to my thoughts, and as the hours pass,

I realize, I am just like them
