doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo-d
doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo-d
doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo-d
the bass line
is an insinuation
by the café stereo system
playing noise
pitched just above the sound of
clatter-clatter-cla-cla-cla-cl
clatter-clatter-cla-cla-cla-cl
and
shu-shu-shu-shu shu shu sh sh
shu-shu-shu-shu shu shu sh sh
voices interspersed
tell the state of things
the bread
just out of the oven
doo-doo-doo-do
another flat white
wanted now
take away
shu-shu-shu sh
clean up
after table five please
clatter-clatter-clatter-cl
clatter-clatter-clatter-cl
the bass line
on the café stereo system is
doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo-d
doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo-d
an insinuation

Very good write with the song intermixed with the orders.
CHeers GF. Always fascinating to attend to the hubbub, rather than have it take over.
Oompa Oompa - great fun write.
Busy busy, Michael. Get your order in!
What a racket there?! A fine write.
Thanks O. A flat white for me, please.
Great poetic fun-wrte of the busy sounds around café life Frank. I fancy a yummy white flat if there's one to spare - do do dummy do yum .
That's the spirit, Fay. Coming right up.
How 'bout a waffle with acoustic guitar as back up. ; )
That would be grand, AP. And a drum cake, please.
Sounds good to me Frank. And just for good measure, let's throw in some electric git tar.

I do love this poem and the way it is structured, Frank.
But, what the heck is a 'flat white'?
Cheers Fred. It's a cappuccino without froth - for those of us with mustaches.
