Off we go into town,
Doing what we need to do,
Or not as the case may be,
But it always starts the same.
My wife says I sound like a parrot,
As “Coffee first” I say,
“Coffee first”.
Into the café we go,
I order the coffee
Mines and americano,
Without milk!
Hers is a cappuccino
With chocolate on the top.
We sit there drinking,
Chatting and laughing,
Watching the world go by.
Watching people
Is so entertaining.
My coffee is finished
So I am ready to face the world,
As the caffeine does its work.
She is still drinking hers,
So I employ another saying,
Hoping to hurry her up.
I say “Come on dear,
Places to go,
People to see.”
She replies,
“Don’t call me Dear!”
