Taverns and a few Restaurants


“There are lots of dive bars all around for a quick drink, but the there are those places you can spend several hours in, having a good time, with food and fine wine” Gun Roswell


A short stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

Glassy, glass and then some 


“So much shiny, see through glass, it’s, impossible!” Gun Roswell 

Glassy, glass and then some 

Tender, delicate, totally breakable

Transparent, shiny, quite clean

The ware for many occasions 

But mostly, useful for any kind of liquid 

Sweet, sour, strong or just plain

No matter what, it’s all the same

The purpose for these shiny objects

Is to hold in the precious liquids 

For these ready to consume any of it

And that would be pretty much it 

Except some do like to collect them

Filling their cupboards with glassy things

Just because they look good

In all imaginable colours a buyer could

Be able to purchase these fine looking products 

As well never really can have enough of that stuff

There’s time to spare
And a cup of coffee to share
In the little cafe
By the Esplanade

Kiosk Cafe for Seat Sunday 

Opening the archives
Storing away the files
Of possible tales
For later to be shared
In a little cafe
By the Esplanade

Kiosk Cafe for Seat Sunday 

Making a play
From my hideaway
People watching
A glimpse of their lives
Here and there catching
In the little cafe
By the Esplanade

Rain or shine
Seated just fine
In a little cafe

“Common sense says that chairs and tables exist independently of whether anyone happens to perceive them or not” Charles D. Broad

Choices to make

When in a park cafe
Wishing the rain away
Hard choices to make
Eat a bun or a cake?
Sit on the green or the red
Oh, these hard choices
I have to make!

Occupied/Vacant

A quiet corner
Of a busy street
Like a human recorder
Listening, watching, plotting
For anything, to tweet

A Seat at the Restaurant for Seat Sunday

“I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet” Bruce Forsyth

Modern Times

Oh, how time flies
In front of our very eyes
Running around makes none the wise
So, just take a seat, relax, fill your supplies
There is no resistance
For these modern times

“I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet” Bruce Forsyth

Waiting

Important meeting to decide one’s fate?
Maybe a secret hideaway, for a coffee date?
Watching, waiting, by the gate
Why, oh why is my destiny late?
