I rarely eat my breakfast out
But, as a
special treat,
We took our
guests to Effy’s,*
Hoping that
we’d get a seat.
It’s half a
block from where we live
And breakfast
gets a crowd.
We took a
chance, though, and lucked out.
(Reserving’s
not allowed.)
Surprisingly,
the outdoor spots
Were filled,
despite the heat,
But in the room
inside, we found
A cool and
calm retreat.
A varied
menu let us choose
From middle
eastern meals
To pancakes,
wraps and sandwiches,
All with their
own appeals.
We ate, we
drank, we chatted
In a
pleasant atmosphere,
The buzz of
fellow diners
Adding to
the Sunday cheer.
A break from
a routine
Can often
bring about a smile
And a state
of satisfaction,
Even if once
in a while.
*Effy’s Café
on the upper east side of Manhattan
