There used to be
a Big Blue Buffet.
Now there is just
a Little Blue Diner.
The patrons are few
but faithful.
They are like fixtures,
adding to the ambiance.
Sometimes,
it is just you and me
at the counter over coffee.

. . . and now "it is just you and me at the counter over coffee" is all it is supposed to be. True blue patrons are far and few indeed. I liked this short, but very descriptive poem.

Maybe they are waiting for us dinosaurs to die off before they come back. Glad you liked it.

James and Paul,
I sometimes refer to PipTalk as the Big Blue Buffet. This poem is a commentary on how this forum gets a little slim, down to just a couple of people for spells.
