Fraulein Wexler and Lady Wakefield
dramatic verse
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin,
two years have passed; we find our Fraulein has moved once again -
Fraulein Wexler is now employed at London’s Coffee Sense.
While in Berlin she’d met a barista par excellence,
Toji, who proposed a job in the coffee industry.
Pardon the digression, while I tell you the back-story.
Toji’s dad sells coffee in the London vicinity;
he visited her often when she moved to Germany.
His stopovers, more frequent, once he met her new-found friend,
soon his proposal was marriage, her maiden state to end.
Yes, once he met Fraulein Wexler, the rest is history
London was the next big move; thanks to matchmaker Toji.
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin,
Our Fraulein Wexler is planning a wedding in London.
Next Tuesday, she will become Lady Wakefield of Soho,
a quiet affair in the gardens near Maison Bertaux.
Needless to say,Toji will be there for each wedding guest -
brewing a mix of Dad's own choosing – coffee at its best.
