Sitting on the patio
Sipping fizzes nice and slow
Friends ‘tween tables to and fro
Waving hi to folks they know
Sunglasses are required wear
Food is simple summer fare
Linen shirt beach-tousled hair
Laid-back cool, slouched in a chair
You can sit there hours on end
Amazed at how much time you’ll spend
Flippant talk between your friends
The latest fads the newest trends
The time will pass the wine will flow
Until the light turns soft and low
There are few pleasures that you’ll know
Then chilling on the patio…
