Shrinking World

We sat around the table

Drinking our coffee,

Chatting,

Looking at photos’

When our daughter spotted one.

She said to our Granddaughter,

“Is that at the French Restaurant,

The one in Birmingham,

That you went to last week?”

Our Granddaughter said,

“Oh no,

That’s the one in Paris”.

My wife and I looked on

Astounded,

She had said it as though

Popping out to a restaurant in Paris

Was an everyday happening.

How small the world is,

From when WE were young.
