In a lonely place
Deprived of the chance
Of a shop-bought flat white;
I watch the waves dance
It’s time to revert
To the ways of the past
To the portable brew;
The return of the flask
Coffee or soup
Laced with whisky or gin
Enough for two cups;
While social distancing
Sleek metal design
A Thermos that lasts;
No longer the risk of
A mug of smashed glass
Stephen A. Roberts
