They gather daily with their cup
to tell each other what is up.
They have the same place to sit
and if you’re there, they’ll pitch a fit.
And each chair has the same face
always sitting in the same place.
The golden arches are outside.
They’ll be there until all have died.
Coffee sometimes tastes real good
but often not the way it should.
They never gossip – you know that’s true
but if you’re missing they talk of you.
They discuss all the local news
with their variety of views.
Politics is discussed in full
so things never get very dull
‘cause the facts don’t get in the way
of the opinions that they say.
Look for these groups across the nation
the next time that you a vacation.
Sometimes they make a lot of noise
and they always act like grown up boys.
People notice they are around
and often greet them with a frown.
It’s not Cheers but much the same
‘cause everyone knows your name.
It’s like a club without the fees
where they are free to shoot the breeze.
But it’s not a church that they would make
because they are all wide awake.
Newfie hugs, Rose
Just a thought!
