Fit For Purpose
It rained again today
and one could
barely make their way
toward the bar
without first treading
on someone
else’s sodden feet ..
Nor for that matter
could one
adequately sway from
side to side
with the bass line that
leaked so
deliciously from those
three huge but
otherwise, magnificent
redundant
Wharfedale speakers ..
Then a chord
struck firmly home ..
The Three Dukes was
never meant
for dancing, courting,
disco’s or enjoying
oneself, but for serious
drinkers only ..

Thanks N.
Thanks N.
There indeed is music to accompany proper drinking as there is music for a road trip, for dancing, for eating to, and almost every other human activity.
It soothes this savages beast
"soothes" that's the word that partners well with music and its Listener!
Redolent with atmosphere here, Neville.
Must be a fluke perhaps 😎👍
Good Evening Nev
I feel like a trip to the pub for a drink with some chilled music after this one and it's been a while.
Never disappoint, enjoyed very much Nev
Thanks a million Max .. me too .. make mine a dubble & I'll meet ya by the ... 😎x
Excellent write Neilie
Many thanks Tony
You're welcome
Reminds me of pub's years ago whose only purpose was for drinking. Now a days, they're more restaurant-like. It's good you found one like that.
I think you described it beautifully, crowded, noisy, and purposeful. - Phil A.
I am so glad my little scribble reminded you of those watering holes of days of yore .. sadly most have long gone and those that remain only do so by the skin of their teeth, don't they .. cheers Phil
The blues of a rainy day accompanied by blues is my choice. Drinking can be raucous but I still prefer the more personal and not the franchise but the privately owned more homesy places. Nicely written Neville
You would love The Three Dukes .. Cheers 🍷🍷
Back in the day the pub I went was like that Neville, no music, no games tables, just good beer and good friends, darts and cards.
Wharfedale speakers take me back.
