(A Farewell to Melissa’s Cottage Cafe)

Melissa’s [drew] in that cozy feeling you [got] when visiting your favorite grandmother. From the staff, to the squirt of lemon in your sweet tea—it all feels like home:

Walking thru the door…as the floorboards creak

Eyeing around for my favorite seat

As we are seated

laughs and smiles fill the air

Because at the door

Is left, all despair

So for you who is reading this

Anxious, ready to feast

I wish you a great meal

so to you

Bon Appetit
