VIENNÀ CAFÉ - (Cairo)

Holding my pipe like a clarinet
As the world goes by I take a breath

Nescafé?

The waiter askes all dressed in white
He rushes past

Yes I nod 
Nescafé I continue to contemplate my day

Sweet aromatic smells and tastes of shisha
In the open air times of pleasure
Worth more to me than our coffee house brands
At five pounds a taste so grand

The waiter returns with my nescafé
Upon a small table he puts a tray
I take a sip the taste is perfect
Vienna café in Cairo

Is surely worth it.
