AU REVOIR
"Jenny's Retirement Party"::...
The moment arrives for all to move on,
to "Petit Paris," French Restaurant.
Upon Kings Walk, just steps away,
and manage a meal to end the day.
Shown to the region so reserved,
are the total number to be served.
Wine selected, served and tried,
an offer made and not denied.
Shown upon the table top,
are wine-coolers, flowers, tea-lights lit-up.
Jugs of fresh water, glasses also,
all adding more to the evening glow.
Placed to provide and play parts too,
as meals delivered, gathered and grew.
An evening enjoyed all the way through,
as a close to the period steadily drew.
"It's quiet in that corner," are the words said,
as drink takes effect and need of bed.
A strong black coffee is the clue,
to be sure that all is true.
The bill upon a silver tray,
delivered forth; what can one say;
Three-hundred and also forty pounds,
as the collection begins it's rounds.
"You have this;and I'll have that,"
are the words within each chat.
The total count does now collect;
cool and calm all is correct.
Au revoir, my dear good fellow,
it's off to home, bed and pillow.
Drowsy now from food and drinks,
It is high time for forty winks.
Cash replaced by a receipt,
as the party now compete.
Hugs, goodbyes and cheerios,
separate ways each member goes.
