A top for a stop
To plop and crop
Where picks make clicks
Where work quirks
And ideas come to wonder.

@Mentobaby,

If by "top" you mean "best," then better to say "The top…"

Quote:
To plop and crop
Presumably for "crop" ▸ verb: feed as in a meadow or pasture, in other words stop in for quick one and possibly a chat. Am I right

Quote:
Where picks make clicks
"Pick" is a very loose term, leaves one wondering for instance what could be so special about someone who interrupts his shopping for coffee. By "clicks" I guess you mean to interact. Am I correct

▸ verb: make a clucking sounds, characteristic of hens


--if two people click, they realize immediately that they like each other and understand each other


Quote:
Where work quirks
Forgive me Baby but a "quirk" is something strange or annoying that happens suddenly, or about which one quibbles, leaving me at least in a state of puzzlement

That line's okay

@Mentobaby,
Dale, a top is the same as a cover. That is, one place at a table. The usage is good, even if you don't allow poetic license.

It's good Mentobaby, and I could stand more of your work.

@dalehileman,
Every trade has it's jargon; sometimes silly, sometimes useful.

I worked for awhile in a motel with restaurant, and the manager was going nuts. He said something like "I'm short two waitresses and suddenly three tables walk in the door". Tables don't walk, of course, but we knew what he ment.

Yea Rog even I

Nonetheless Baby's poem leaves me befuddled

It that because it's so deep and subtle or am I so dense
