The Coffee Shoppe

A lady and a gentleman decided on some coffee and a chat
They found their favorite coffee shop with two lights out and one suspicious cat
And they took the booth beside the only other couple there
And a conversation came from out of nowhere

And somewhere in between the words of "How are you" a rendezvous began
It seems the other woman took a liking to the other lady's man
And she complimented everything the gentleman possessed
And added in his lady without protest

And when the evening ended and the gentleman had figured out a plan
He took his lady home and got to talking, then the evil words began
He said that they were over and he'd fallen out of love
And this could be the new affair he dreamed of -- his dream love

So finished with his speech he made his way back to the woman of his dream
But just as he arrived the woman said, "I must confess my wicked scheme"
She said she only loves a man who cannot be possessed
But when his love is hers she loses interest

So in the early evening if a gentleman should want to stop and chat
Just beware of coffee shops with two lights out and one suspicious cat
