Whose Round Is It?

Goldfinch60



It had happened!

The pubs are open once more!

It seems so long,

So long since I had a pint,

A pint in a pub.

So there we are,

Me and my mates

Gathered in the pub,

But with distance between us.

Then come the question,

“Whose round is it?”

“It’s not mine,

I bought the last one

Before lockdown!” I said.

“Its not mine” said Orchi

“You won’t let me buy a round,

As I’ll put water in your drinks!”

“I bought the one before Goldy,

So its not mine” said d a.

TUOAP said “I would love to buy a round

But ‘er indoors” gave me no money!”

Michael then said “It can’t be me,

I bought the three rounds before d a,

So you all owe me three pints!”

Then came the saviour,

Fay walked into the pub

And we threw ourselves at her

All offering to buy her a drink.

“She said no thank you Gentlemen,

I came here to have a good laugh at you,

So for that, I will buy the first round.”

          Thank you for the kind thought AP, it is a long way to come to buy me a pint so I'll drink an imaginary one from you.
