After the remembrance ceremony
At UNO City in Vienna
Mr T wishes to have a bite at his
Haunt called Kopp
Viennese fare as he prefers
Yet the cold air interferes with
Walking there.
From Vorgartenstrasse station
We make it to a pub called
Donaubeisl
Saviour of a weak bladder
Besides a cup of hot semolina
Dumpling soup
Makes him ready to reach his
Famous pub in Engerthstraße
But still five bus stops further.
Mr T is amazed how different
It is to use the Öffis
Appreciating to have been
Ferried there in the past.
Well
The bus ride is not that bad
For me
The poet
A familiar thing.
Not bad the Kopp
The bus driver states
The beer is there good as well.
As it’s the turn for the poet to
Order and invite Mr T
Who orders a small goulash
The poet prefers roasted
Minced meat with mashed
Potatoes. Ok. Not bad
But he is used to simple meals
To stay alive.
For Mr T the small goulash
Has to have tender meat
Which is not always to his taste.
Of course
With his slow eating habit
He needs his gravy heated up
Again.
Well
At least we shared a bottle
Of alcohol free beer
And Mr Walter cracked a few
Jokes in Viennese
The usual waiter style.
Warmed up again
Mr T orders a portion of
Wine-chaudeu desert.
Has not much wine
He states.
