Old men drinking coffee and spinning tales at the local small town cafe They meet every day throughout the week Coffee is free to the seniors They laugh loudly and order another cup The waitress knows them all She's heard them share their lives Good times and sad they still show up Sam likes a doughnut with his coffee John's wife died last year of cancer Frank has two kids in college and George's wife doesn't give a damn They kill time every morning Solving the world's problems They sip their coffee together Just old friends Writing Prompt This is a poetry contest, no prose.
