TABLE FOR FIVE By tom jensen
The coffee’s on
I just pedaled back
From the store
A nice ride
Found everything
I was looking for
No, we don’t hide
The fact that we rarely like
To drink our coffee alone
Children aren’t the only ones
Who ride bikes as they ponder life
What else do you think that the seat is for?
The coffee’s on
I just pedaled back
From the store
It didn’t take long
Before we were wrapped up
All cozy again in our quarters
No, we don’t hide
The fact that we rarely like
To drink our coffee alone
As we talk
Of fulfillment of achievements
And the greatest of life’s milestones
As we talked
Before long we began
To hold hands
As we talked
Our slice of life
Suddenly seemed so sweet
Just like strawberry jam
After that we sat and had a laugh
As we took a mental photograph
And I thought about
Just how lucky I am..
