"Thimbelful"

"Thimbelful"“Thimbelful”Walking without riches today ORBack In the Time Machine“Thimbelful”Back in the Day eye stepped into the Restaurant because there was a table there near the door nothing much too fancy just Formica on the floor in matching black and white squares but oblongs eye noticed they were not squares. Eye ordered up a coffee cup because eye needed some the ogre matron waitress frowned down at the eye as she left the bill beside this "Thimbelful" she seemed to notice eye was not a regular patron or person. Eye swallowed the coffee down and took mye cup up to the counter she filled it and she smiled as she presented another bill to eye immediately returned to seat to check the first bill out. "Thimbelful" was $1.25 plus taxed there was no way out eye paid the $1.39 total on mye way out she did not try to collect the other one eye did not even look back at her ogre matron frown eye returned to present day activity immediately eye noticed two matron ogres the first one paid for a drinking cup at the fountain perhaps they were just hapless in the face of inflated prices used to places without refills free Ed.note: Who is not careful now with money. Ed.note.ed She filled up her drink eye watched her drink it over halfway down until it was almost gone then she hands it to her friend she asked her twice for her own cup. She smiled when she said this "YOU are not worth a cup at THESE prices just get you some" they were used to better places eye could tell but need won the girl she got her refill then sucked it dry then handed it to partner ogre female who then filled it up again then drank it down. One more time they filled it up again for friend and her to have and off they went she must have paid about $1.39. The price of "Thimbelful" how eye remembered coffee cup it must have been in 1979 eye can reminisce again some other time for in arriving early for mye coffee cup not a "Thimbelful" today the one eye thought was DECAF was the waitress making TEA for her iced tea she makes it hot in coffee pot and so the first cup that eye got was not a "Thimbelful" at all but just hot tea or mabe even DECAF coffee but not a "Thimbelful" of love. `
