Calm Before the Storm - Cafe Musings Contest

The pavements stand empty the winds are still Where are the people these chairs to fill. Can hear shouts and cheering drafting in the air Are these the people who will occupy each chair They are at the Rugby an important game So some with happy faces, some head hung in shame Very soon waiters you'll need pads at the ready Final whistle has blown keep your hands steady For dozens of glasses of the best beer Will be ordered shortly of that there’s no fear Don’t look at those chairs wishing they were full Instead enjoy the peace of this short lull You will be run off your feet going this way and that The one good thing is that the takings will look fat. Such a busy few hours, no time to think So, come let’s sit for awhile, relax and enjoy a stiff drink. Penned by Seren Roberts on January 25th Contest : Café Musings.
