The Pub rewrite


Bubbling burbling banter brimming from the bar

No sombre timbre just the tingling of folks mingling
 
Delightful pitter patter of insightful chitter chatter

Webbed blossom ebbed down dappled dimpled jar


Parched pagans perch in their lair a rare secular church

Trumpets tradition beacons blush.. echo embers of the past

Flames flickering strumpets cackling like sassy harridins 

Classy cast of polished pewter & bravado of ballsy brass

Timeless games crackling with larking bickering larrikins 


Wisps of whimsy waft across tobacco tinted tickled times

Smorgasbord horde quaffing quenching in crannies cavorting

Carousing castles sparkle canoodling too many rascal debacles

With adored nooks courting timber flanneled panels sporting


As sons then become dad..on the same pews with their lad

Lawyer betwixt a tyro…local employer..bumpkin on the giro
 
Museums of marvels.. hoodwink bores & dodgy metaphors

Higgledy piggledy tables graced stables of parables & fables 

Laced with a lush house pour of moreish memories of before


Gracious & loquacious landladies & landlords near and far

Each a stellar story teller in the bar and in the cellar a star 

Toast halcyon hostelries that boast such hallowed hosts 

Who let us roam in our home from home we raise our jar

Big grin as we begin another weekend just staying in 

That special space of friendly faces ..our third place
