The Pub With No Beer.

Goldfinch60



Off we went to Worcester,

On our shopping spree,

Looking at shops for clothes,

Stopping just for tea.

 

As we walked back to the car

We knew where we would go,

For lunch, upon the road to home,

To a pub that we well know.

 

 We strode into this well-known bar

Craving for some food;

To be met with sullen faces

That darkened down our mood.

 

I went straight up to the bar

Looking for some ale,

But the pumps were turned away from me;

The beer was not for sale

 

We sat down at a table

And both we ordered lunch’

From a saddened looking waitress,

Whose face was in a scrunch.

 

The food was almost edible,

Not like we had had before;

So as soon as we had eaten

We headed for the door.

 

It was sad to see that this place

Where we used to have great cheer;

Ended up as tasteless,

And a pub with no beer.

        Well, it's the pub's loss. Sorry your lunch was so tasteless and without ale. But..there are other pubs to bring your appetite, thirst and money to.

        • Goldfinch60

          Yes there certainly are others where we enjoy good food and good beer AP.

          So basically what you're saying is that you went to cafe

          • Goldfinch60

            Even if it was a cafe the food was not good. LOL

                Powerful work. Great use of the senses to evoke memory.
