PERHAPS TOMORROW
Why I got nothing done today
a sleepy morning at the local café
the table centerpiece a sweet bouquet
and there upon my mind display
I saw a World of sleep and play
They live a life without delay
needs provided by Government pay
but much to their amazed dismay
the Public coffers began to decay
"Here’s your Espresso …make-way!"
I looked up and began to say
to clear the air and find a way
hoping not to sound passé
I was simply blown away
magnificent beauty on display
* * * * *
The Gin we shared ……ah yes, Bombay
bent our minds and made us sway
and you know
I’ll never forget that beautiful day
I’ll even remember the lovely bouquet
another early morning at the local café
now a permanent record in my dossier
and the beautiful lady I let slip away
I still can hear her voice today
singing the words as she would say
"Keep dreaming my Sailor, now go out and play."
