A Plain Man's Indulgence
pizza, fries and golden beer...
the good company of the men
who took me a dozen times round
a crazy boxing ring, sharing blood
and bone and sweet stadium lights
and after the final bell had rung and
black tie and mink had left it's salty
mark upon the front row seats
we the band of boxing brothers,the
maestros of the ring,
faces smashed without refinement,
nor mercy and with love only for
our wives and each other,
we kicked back the day with boot and
glove and poured happy oaths into
the warm sawdust bar: and our pleasure
our rich and happy prize, a sweet indulgence,
pizza, fries and golden,golden beer
