Lonely Hearts Cafe

She rounded up the lonely ladies from the building
Drove them for lunch at an outdoor terrasse
Dropped them at the entrance then circled and circled
Finally finding parking before rejoining the group
As she finally dropped in her seat letting out a sigh of joy

“What a most magnificent day!”
     
The old miserable bitties piped up in unison... “not bad”

Ah! Those last two lines. Can just picture those 'old biddies.' Poignant portrait of life (as it is, or rather as it leaves lots of room for improvement). :) Gershon

I don't think I will ever forget that scene as long as I live. I just shake my head. Thanks for your visit, Gershon.
