Poem
Hey,hey! It's the Bohemia Cafe!Barry and Kirra'd greet you and say "Hi there! Pleased to meet Chai!" Barry and Kirra they say had a crazy Cafe where musicians would go to jam and play. You'd go...Through the kitchen and down the secret staircase to the round dusty table where people played for hours.` When Barry met Kirra their world revolved around the Bohemia Cafe the story is told... You could go there anytime to order coffee,chat and listen to Kirra play "Gypsy Caravan"on her clarinet. Once you bought your coffee, Kirra would never bother you to clear your table or buy another cup. Sometimes customers would do the dishes,and at one stage Barry's curries were quite delicious. Then you'd go through the kitchen,down the narrow,steep staircase to the secret lounge room of the Bohemia Cafe. Every Sunday night an Irish Orchestra would swarm and settle in the cafe. and the other musicians would go downstairs to play. On Teusday nights people would come for chess to win their quests,while guests happily blended at their own tables. Poetry nights were Wednesdays and occasionally some almost famous poets would gather,recite and be toastmasters for the night.... Till the tension grew so thick in the smoke-filled joint,you could cut it with a knife. Yes, the point is...the Bohemia was in its heyday in the 1990's. Many an artist and poet would have gone there. It reminds me of what a true "Beatnik" cafe would've been like.
