The dog owners come in, and to my surprise,
they remember that it’s their dogs night out
too, so, the dog bowls are filled for those twin
labradoodles, and in unison a pint of Camden
Hells, a glass of Pinot are downed, whilst the
canines lap up their much needed aqua.
On an adjacent table, a collective; of which, I
will call “The Merry Wives of Newark” mentally
pummel the new bar-hand, with their saucy
scowls and “banter”, his polite, coy response is
a compound of both concentration and a little
fear, thus, perhaps a wry suggestion that he may
need a course of therapy; enters into my mind,
but reassured, his smile is confident, for the
loose women comfort him, that all is a joke,
thus, with the dogs and the ladies happy,
this truly makes a scene, that is so serene!

- Comment from author about the poem: This poetic documentary; came about a few days ago on one my "rare" visits to the pub, where the dog tails were wagging, and the ladies were bantering (hence the accompanying cover picture.) I hope that you enjoy this poetical scene, and as always please stay safe everyone!

My sister once took me to a pub in Aslockton with her dawg. Big surprise to me was the landlord though. Serving me a pint was John Robertson ex Nottingham Forest left winger.
Served a good aqua for the dawg too.
Worrisit baat Notts pubs's meks em so wam. Taint Shippos no more!
It wasn't The Cranmer Arms by any chance was it? Because, when I was touring around England in a band, we played there, and I am sure the landlord at the time said something similar about a former Nottingham Forest player being the previous head honcho, if it was, small world!
Glad that the pooch enjoyed its non-alcoholic hooch, and miduck, Notts pubs are mint, coz ain't no nesh heart in 'em! Haha!
Thanks for the read, and I hope all is well!
Good write AS.

Could just imagine the rumpus when doggie owners gathered for liquid and chatter - your poetic-docu. is clearly a fun-raiser to read next time you join that throng. Great write.

Good write, A.S.
Dogs in the bar is getting very popular. Really good wing men.
Thanks for the read Jerry, and I agree a dog (if well behaved), can be very good ally for a guy.
I hope that all is well!
Greatly enjoyed, AS. Atmospheric picture of a British pub. Nice recharge as memory fades slightly....
Apart from you and the barman there weren't any blokes. Had they deserted?
Thanks for the read Doggerel Dave, I kew that you'd enjoy this one.
Regarding the sparsity of blokes, there were some, but they were office types, mostly talking about their billable hours, not worth mentioning in the poem! Haha!
I hope that all is well!
Blimey Ben, that took me back to the days when I went up the pub regularly, and that scene you have created witt those words took me back to those days, thank you.
