“How impolite is that,” it purred.
“You look at him with one cold stare
And he’ll back off. Just one hard word,
You’ll have your peace. It’s just not fair
For him to act like that in here.
This coffee shop’s your special place!
So make him feel a little fear,
You’ll have your peace. Your private space
Is yours, you know. You are entitled
To your little drink in silence.
Let him see your will unbridled,
Just the slightest hint of violence,
And you’ll have your peace. How fun,
He looks like he’s ashamed! Well done.”
