The Pub

The Pub

 

They sit around in a crowded pub

Supping beer and smoking cigarettes

What a life they think they have

More like an existence, in reality.

 

The raucous laughter takes over

Music still blaring in the background

They shout louder to be heard

Drink more, and more to feel numb.

 

Their wasted lives just a blur

Always leave their wives at home

Just to be part of the crowd

Pathetic creatures of habit.

 

Arguing over the football results

Making sexual innuendos to the barmaid

Oh, they think they are so funny

What wasters, just real wasters!

OK OK so i'm a waster :p lol I love a cold glass of larger on a hot summers day, but I dont make passes at bar maids. I also like this poem of your's :)

I loved the end of this. XD I don't see a problem with doing that a little of the time, it's just the people who make it their lives that are so tragic. :3

Great story. Everyone needs to unwind, though maybe not in excess! Thank you for sharing.

I'm half embarrassed to say this sounds like my group of savages...just with females who do the same mixed in.
I'm not even sure if the real offenses live here. This is the way some heathens live and don't bat a second eye.
Just churchgoing drunks who slap a*s, smoke grass, and wake up in deep thought.

whoohaa

Ha ha! This made me chuckle (sorry, but I am male!)...and you do actually have a small point here, but then again, for us, the pub is a kind of refuge, a safe place where we can indulge in (essential) male bonding....and I don't thnk all of us make sexual innuendoes to the barmaid....even if that is sometimes the female perception......? Good write....
