Customary Ways

Grey Spanish moss slowly sways
As gentle Charleston breezes blow
It belies the resident's customary ways
Which only appear to be nice and slow

To rush about is not their forte
Each moment is properly savored
Whether at work or at play
The occasion is gracefully labored

 Breakfast at nine is proper
Lunch is never before two
Dinner at eight a real show stopper
Served on damask of white and blue

Melons, seafood, she-crab soup
Whatever your palette desires
Is served for one or a large group
With flavor the Low Country inspires

So settle back, relax and partake
Of all that is offered to you
And when you finish be sure to make
The Waterfront Park your late night view
