Poem
At the corner of the town you shall find it A small den filled with cigarette smoke and booze Wherever you decide to sit, just squeeze you will fit in Among the best kind of people, the kind with nothing to lose The liquor sold may not be the best in quality The people here are far from becoming financially stable But they are good company to keep, while keeping away from reality Where laughter is shared around every draped shaky table The barmaids keep quitting for the pay is never enough To avoiding glasses breaking; they mostly come in plastic You can’t request for a song, the DJ doesn’t have The bartender is also the DJ, and he cant afford to fall sick The place is always open, no matter what time of day The drinking never stops, it parallels the hour hand There is always someone to serve you, just as long you pay If you tip the barmaid well, you can make an extra demand Even If you have no money, you can get drunk still As long as next time you remember, to settle all your debts But whatever you drink be assured, comes not with a high bill The bartender gives credit, and he never regrets Men and women come to drink for all kinds of reasons Some drink to celebrate while others drink to forget Many drink to pass the time, just to get through the seasons Others are just lonely,no one is back home not even a pet The place is not always well lit, nor well ventilated It’s always crowded, with no room for a dance floor But people care only for the booze,and how quickly it gets them sedated They drink till past their bedtime, and the next day the drink more Everyone is welcome here, whether a regular or passing through No one will judge you here, its home away from rock bottom There are hustlers and dreamers and those with nothing to do You can be yourself here, with no regard to society’s norm They drink themselves senseless, but talk lots of good sense Philosophy and religion mixes with whatever say now the politicians Whether Trump can do the job, and God bless Mike Pence Shame on that Bruce Jenner, and TV is better off without the Kardashians
