Alone at My Table by Paul Howlett

Alone at My Table    by Paul Howlett

All alone at my table

Looking for ghosts

The characters from fiction

Seem to fade in my beer

I am in a coffee shop of note

Surprised am I & I quote

When I surveyed the menu, here

To find lots and lots of beer

Some were good some were not

But find comfort in just one pot

Still it’s strange to find a place

A coffee shop by name

Sells booze all the same

I’ll raise a glass without any shame.

Note:  A ten ounce glass of beer in Queensland, Australia is called "A Pot".

In New South Wales, in Australia a ten oz beer is call "A Midi".
