Just Another Bar and Another An Anot...

A sign up the way
    Stays half un-lit,
    All the night
    An in the day

    It beckons:
    **LIQUOR**
    WE_COME
    C_ME ON IN
    HA_E A DRAM
    OR TEN !

    The alluring smell of booze
    Muddled sent of cheap perfume.
    Intoxicated memories
    Left behind,none to soon.

    Old men with naked eyes
    Mumbling in memories
    Of what where and when
    Another shot of mercies disguise.

    And as I pass this place I've been
    Never forgetting to remember
    The one shot or ten
    And just what I haven't missed.....
