Phillip Coffey - Off The Table

Off the Table - By Phillip Coffey
Youthful speeding thoughtlessly - into the warm days
Of fickle freckles
Years of toil aged slowly enter cautiously with weathered
wrinkles worn for many seasons.
So much unrest around - North and South, East and West.
Unassuming each traveler goes - no plans chosen to rest his soul.

Leisure time for my wife and me in the soothing, blissful breeze.
Eating tasteful spicy, pinto Gumbo - we dare not to sneeze.
Off the dining table to the awaiting floor, they must not fall.
Cooing dove descending - swooshing from near Mount Arafat -
Waring machine into her beating breast.
