Last orders please
When one enters a pub one often chooses
To mix with boozers and losers
Schmoozers and cruisers and half naked wanton potty mouth floozies
Germ ridden waste traps where
the scummy slop oozes
And the pub bore when drunk suddenly choses
to be your best friend
The only one who profits is the landlord in the end
About this poem
This poem is a warning from a seasoned heavy drinker aged 78 about the lure of pubs
