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
