People Watching (with a cup of coffee)
It's always a great watch but never a sport
Just to see how other people are taught
In life, in love and even ordering food and coffee
Spending twenty in Costa when teenage and still spotty
Who gives them the filled pocket full of easy money
Must be the bank at home, more likely dad over mummy
People sit with paper just chilling whilst paying Sudoku
One naughty couple lightly play, his hands close to her...John!
Why row on loudspeaker in a public place of tranquil
Think that I'll get out of here and quickly pay at the till
First a quick nip to the toilet to release a wee jobby
Next cubicle is on the phone, I'll listen in, this should be my hobby!

and taste the people-
from a distance.”
