Tim Hortons

PAD Challenge from Writer's Digest day 16: For today’s prompt, write a poem about (or at) a food establishment.

We meet temporary soulmates there

diehards willing to wait, wade seas

to scan showcases of fresh-baked fare

and their turn to order, 'a large black, please'

...where the air is steeped with the heady blend

of chatter, laughter and a fresh-brewed pot

as student, traveler, laborer, friend

Streams through the doors of Canada's hot spot

Janet Martin~

If you are in Canada ask anyone you meet where the nearest Tim Hortons is...

and they will be able to tell you, 

because there is always a Tim Hortons (or three) nearby

Thank-you Tim Horton,
from Canada's coffee-lovers.
