Cracking Cakes

Cracking cakes at Crumbles on the Corner 

A fabulous tea shop like no other

Where friendly folk gather to meet

For a delicious delightful sugary treat

Two women serve with bold tattoos

Conjuring up some perfect brews

Laughing, joking with strangers and friends 

A normal coffee shop this place transcends

Sat drinking tea there’s an old lady

She’s experienced life; well over eighty

Wistfully staring out of the misty window

A lonely existence now she’s a widow

Sat alongside her are two young walkers

Eating and clinking cups on their saucers

The rain outside brings others inside

Sandwich; hot beef, turkey; can’t decide

Mulling over my culinary dilemma

Ladies listening with their antenna 

You simply can’t go wrong with beef

Melts in me mouth don’t affect me teeth

The rain pours down others find shelter

The beef and horseradish is a right belter

Dark storm clouds; waiting to move by

Yummy delights more than twenty to try

Lovely people chit chat and share tales

Of wonderful holidays to the Yorkshire Dales

The clouds break and there’s a glimpse of sun

Gulp down the coffee and the iced cream bun

With a cheery smile we’re bid cheerio

And back to Slaithwaite we proceed to go

The local welcome couldn’t ‘ve been any warmer
