Coffee Bars

They used to be places where no girl should go -
"You're never sure who you might meet there, you know;"
Meaning, of course, that there might be some boys,
And that should be obvious was one of the joys,
Of an evening spent sitting, cup of coffee in hand,
Hoping that one of the types that were banned,
Would notice your presence, and then start to talk,
And maybe perhaps even go for a walk.
They just weren't respectable, back in those days,
When most girls grew up under far different ways.

But coffee bars now aren't described as low dives;
As high streets are modernised soon there arrives
A branch of a chain which is aiming to serve
A wide range of coffees with panache  and verve.
They've gone quite upmarket, and now it's a fact,
Their service and decor both seek to attract
A wide range of customers, happy to pay
A couple of pounds for a coffee each day.
