A few weeks ago Pam and I spent a few days in Canberra. Our venue for breakfast was the hotel’s restaurant, Bobbie McGee’s. One morning whilst we were eating breakfast I noticed a puny macho business man sitting at a table on my left. Later a stunning young redheaded woman sat opposite the man, who was obviously a company executive.



Breakfast at Bobbie McGee’s

He sat on the other side,
though his head was somewhere
between the third button on her
green blouse and half parted pink lips.

A red headed beauty;
a babe crawling amongst old growth—
next weeks work performance topic
around a company board table.

She, at her plate,
Green eyed, neck flounced ringlets,
shaped white linen from waist to knee.
Unpainted fingers cuddling curved
handles.

He mouthed sideways,
phone mid shoulder and ear: expression
for impression— mind on the evenings
project. He winked and gave a sickly
smile.

Wanted ya to know I was at the next table watching you watch, John...

Good observations. I'll be watchin' others help ya with this; I'm about to lead a group and have a bunch of paperwork I have to complete first... so I can't stay and have coffee with ya.

I love your observations! Ya have a couple apostrophes missin' for the possessives, and maybe one place that oughta be hyphenated, but that's just detail stuff. I'll be back for or a meal in the next 24 hours, I hope!
