A cafe is...I go to cafes too much

A café is a cosy pot of tea

A sandwich, muffin or coffee

A slice of cake to share? Don’t be daft

I think I’ll be able to manage that

A café is a place to go

When you’re alone and feeling low

An escape for when it all gets too much

The steaming mug will be your crutch

A café is a place for people watching

For criticisms or adoration

The perfect setting to eavesdrop

Are they Dutch or are they Welsh?

A café is a place for friends

Or simply where we can play pretend

Somewhere where plans are made

To be kept, broken or delayed

You can go to a café to recharge

To wake you up, better make it large

A place for work, a place for play

I wouldn’t have it any other way

When the doors are locked and the blinds go down

I can’t help but to supress a frown
Despite all the raucous and goings on

It’s just not the same drinking coffee at home.
