Paradise Cafe, An Update Maybe some of you will already know About the very special place that I go The Paradise Cafe is its a very apt name A paradise indeed for lovers all the same One night, it was rather late in the bar My man had gone home, but I hadn't so far Sadie said, Hey Marsha! Let's have a chat Well, I couldn't turn love down just like that So I looked at my watch and stifled a yawn How this as an excuss will be met with scorn Still I was always welcome to come and go And Sadie prepared for the drinks to flow She brought me my drink, an Angels Kiss As I sat there sipping, wondering what I'd miss Marsha, she said, I need some good advice Imagine me! Telling love about lovers price It's the bar you see, I breathed a huge sigh Thank you I murmured to the angels near by Does this cafe need something, to give it pizzazz How about those Dream Boys, or maybe some jazz Oh! I said, scratching my head, Um Sadie I'm sure you're quite a stylish classy lady But Sadie, really this is far far too silly Lovers won't want some guy flashing his w**** Maybe the jazz as an idea is rather good But the bar, leave it to go on as it should It's always been, still is, a fashionable spot You really don't want the pace to be too hot The lovers like to relax here together at night It's lively enough, Sadie I know that I'm right Sadie, although a little drunk on lovers wine Thought for a moment and replied that's fine So if you're going to Sadie's place tonight And the music's good and the mood just right But still you wish there were just a little more I'm the one who's soley to blame that's for sure It was my idea to keep the place exactly the same Sadie was very keen to make her Paradise the Name Still I prefer it, and I'm sure you will agree That lovers need their place to feel totally free So the Paradise Cafe is the place for me Where Sadie sings about loves' place to be The lovers can dance, or watch the show Softly lit by stars and moons silver glow On the dance floor the clouds gently swirl And Sadie will delight as she does her twirl Angels pass out the dreamy cocktail drinks So where am I? Now really, where do you think? Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kari, thanks love, yes quite true, I'm over by the bar, feeding my man some cocktails! (Now what would you recomend, Between the Sheets, A long slow, or something a little spicier?)  Take care kid Ethome, Oh yes, I can't see it shuting down can you, the lovers would riot. I did enjoy writing this one, it was great fun. Possibly because I can actually picture what Sadie's place would be like. So I'll see you there?  Jwesley, yes from that booth, you get a very good veiw, and not just of the dance floor. I know you're hoping to see the dancing angels as they take their wings off aren't you? Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marge, that's so nice, thank you. This is my fun poem, I got to thinking, what would happen if Love asked me for advice. And this was the result. Anyway it made me smile, and I hope it made you smile too. Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

So do I still get my special seat? I know that Sadie will hold it for me won't she? I have room for all of the MBOOPA's as well. Still my favorite place to hang out you know. |

Paula, I wouldn't dream of allowing Sadie to change so much as one star twinkle. And I thought I saw Insect over by the dance floor waiting for you. Go on girl give him a twirl.  Mark my friend, Sadie is definitely saving your seat, she has a very strong penchant for cowboys. I don't know about the MBOOPAS, they can be a bit rowdy you know, they need a firm hand to keep them in order. Still if you'll vouch for them, they may just get in. Welcome home Mark, you've been missed. Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
