Service With a Smile

The sign reads no service
if you take off your shoes
but if you come in to my place
I'll take them off you

Have a seat at my counter
I'll get to you real soon
one sip of this coffee
I'm damn sure you'll swoon

Breakfast is simmering 
you'll find the sausage divine
mouth watering perfection
it's one of a kind

Church bells are ringing
the bluebirds start singing
no need for tipping
the first one's on me

Sounds like a diner. I love diners! Much more comfortable in a diner than a fancy restaurant. Shame on me! I'm supposed to be a "lady." LOL

I love three-cup Sunday. A buzz, a bite, some ball... a nap. From my recliner to yours, I'll be "write" over, ready to swoon. What a sweet early morning read! Go Bears! Wait, do they have a team? Chips 'n salsa! ~ john
