Breakfast at Bobbie McGee’s, Life Options

[Arnfinn]

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.

Hi Gregory,

Mate I didn't realise you were an Aussie.

Tell ya what, If ya ever drop into the capital n' stay at RYDGES Lakeside Canberra, you can dine at Bobbie McGee's. The decor is (well I'll keep that a secret). Buuuuuuut I bet (if ya happen to dine there) It'll blooooooow ya mind.

I'm sorry about Henry Miller, I didn't twig I should have realised the author. I didn't realise he wrote poetry/prose. I did a check. Your, quite correct, your recommendation about his ability as a writer. I thought his poetry/prose, exceptional. His collection of poems under 'Young and Aspiring' were full of sensuallity and passion.

As far as your thoughts on me poetry expos`e BaBM's, well I say this, MM is a wonderful site for everyone. We have members learning the basics and we have talent. In my view, this is an academy of help, respect and evaluation. Your a good mate, your views are candid and you deal the cards straight from the top.

N' it's nice to meet a fellow countryman.

I know you have a lot to offer to this site and I'm looking forward to your contributions in respect your knowledge of literature (re Henry Miller) and helping others who strive to master the basics.


Good on ya mate,


John
