Table For One - Diane Scantlebury

Will someone be joining you?
No I say
Just me
A single, solitary diner
Sitting alone for tea

But did you book?
No I say
Just look
I know you will put me in the corner
Don’t ignore me
Take my order

Would you care for a bottle?
No I say
Just a glass
Would be fine
My voice drowned by the hub bub
As I order my wine

Did you enjoy your meal?
Yes I say
Just delicious
But now I am quite done
Will come back again soon
Reserve my table for one
