What an amazing hour!
Sitting in the coffee bar,
Our normal haunt.
Drinking our coffee
I looked around,
Nearly every table was occupied,
All were talking to each other,
Some quite animatedly,
Others quite quietly,
But all were engaged
With each other.
There was the lone man,
The lone man in the corner,
But he was reading his paper.
I couldn’t believe it though,
I looked, and looked again,
As the astonishing thing was
There was nobody, NOBODY!
Using their mobile ‘phones.
What an amazing hour!
