Let’s just have the one
Rest our feet for a while
Savour that first sip
God that was so good
That first turns into a second
Soon our glasses are empty
Shall we have an other?
Yes just one more
Chatter is free warm
And comforting
Spirits high, banter good
Shall we have another?
Jokes are now filling the air
Much funnier than before
Knowing smiles with adjacent tables
Almost knee jerk automatic
Shall we have another?
Life is now so much more fluid
Innermost thoughts out in the open
Dissected by amateur psychiatrists
Slowly starting to feel a little pissed
We know we shouldn’t
But show no restraint
Shall we have another?
Quickly the clarity
Fades like a mist descending
Retreating into my own little world
Which instantly starts spinning
Oh god what have we done
We were only meant to have the one!

Those single pints can be so contagious.
So true!!
You staggered back home? You got that hangover now?!
I didn’t on that occasion. Got one today though!!
