The merry banter of the waitress flirting With her old men the negotiations For a coffee refill the rattle of flatware And the clatter-clat of the breakfast plates The buzz of conversation and over there A Bible verse and a head bowed in thanks “Then Grandpa shot Billy” and too the hum Of how’s-the-weather going to be later on The usual beginning to another work day… But wait…but what…what did that old man say?

"Then Grandpa Shot Billy"
The merry banter of the waitress flirting With her old men the negotiations For a coffee refill the rattle of flatware And the clatter-clat of the breakfast plates The buzz of conversation and over there A Bible verse and a head bowed in thanks “Then Grandpa shot Billy” and too the hum Of how’s-the-weather going to be later on The usual beginning to another work day… But wait…but what…what did that old man say?
