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!”

Filter coffee or French Press - the only way to get a full rounded cup of coffee. Great scribe and I'm with you G - a coffee and watching the world go by but not Costas, Cafe Nero or Starbucks. Their coffee is all forced through a machine and loses out on the subtleties of the flavour. Also their charges are so high and service levels are nil. We have a Hotel where you can sit in comfort and someone comes over to serve you at half the price - Sorry - I could go on and on about coffee.
I agree with you, our favourite place is a garden centre where the coffee is good and people watching can be so entertaining and inspirational.
Hey G.. coffee is the elixir of life. Nuff said!
As you say Fred, Nuff said!
Love itt! This actually sounds like me and my other half ..only with roles reversed, him on the cappuccino ( and he's the woman in the relationship haha) great write!
Thank you Renzi. We enjoy our coffee when we go out.

oh, I'm afraid all we have is tea.
dear!
"Don't' call me Dear!" Thanks Paul
tea! ha! ha! ha!
THANKS ANDY ~ Coffee and the morning go together ~ you can't have one without the other ! I like ground coffee and I get a lot given me (generally unwanted presents) so i always perk my own at home. I like it with cream & Amaretto or Baileys ! We have A Proper Coffee Shop in town ~ where you choose your Ground Coffee and they perk it for you can have a liqueur with it for an extra POUND ~ HEAVEN. Thanks for sharing ~ you are in my Prayers ~ BRIAN
Thank you Brian. My favourite is Columbian Coffee which the garden centre cafe we go to uses.
A fine write G/F. In my case - sherry first?! Then me poems take on a tone of their own - "And now shumthing poetic for todaysh, on the themes of sherries and porykish pies"! My acting get worse. heehee.
Before long we will be inundated with "COOOEEEES".
Oohh I forgot a bit about Cooee's. heehee!
Goldfinch60 this sort of work i love. Pure poetry and honesty of the simple day to day norm. I was there in my local coffee shop with you, seeing what i see. But it has to be worded and presented just right. You nailed it sir!
Thank you b-e, so kind.
I love this poem..So honest. What would life be like without coffee? Great write, GF!
Indeed what would life be without coffee.
