Café stop for breakfast

Café stop for breakfast

Just like all those years ago

On the way to work at Edwinstowe

Same as it ever was, to the last


The kitchen staff are busy as hell

Doing this, that and the other

Surely grey haired Nellie is the mother

Of the washing up daughter under her spell


And the road, to the race track

Quiet today, but not for long

Sadness, but soon to be a song

All that silent nostalgia; watch my back


Don’t forget fishing men, and holidaymakers

Looking for an early autumn break

With sausage, bacon and steak

A poetry stop with or without any takers
