PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

pale ale or barley wine, bitter, mild and stout

chilled house wines in red or white or cider for the lady

brandies, vodka, armagnac, and whiskies jostle the gin

where gleaming glass met sparkling brass and voices made the din

the classroom of humility, humour, hope and levity  

all Doppler shifted overnight, a theme pub nightmare, England's blight



now salitos, V2s, alcopops and bouncers on the door

draught beers, colder than the grave, the video juke, all techno rave

while it's two for one, happy hour has gone, with chewing gum on the floor

cocky kids with coke caked noses, throwing bottles and striking poses

eat cheesy chips and chicken things with blue ketchup and onion rings

while hoodies hook the latest mark. They'll follow him home, when it goes dark

all under the ever watchful eyes of the sightless electronic spies
