The Silver Fox
Slouching
in forgotten tap rooms
dirty old men,
forgotten old men,
slop piss coloured beer
from, wet, dripping glasses.
The hollow din,
the reliving "the good old days",
echoes sadly
as life quickly passes.
"They used to call me 'The Silver Fox'
What do you think of that?
They used to care."
An empty glass crashes
to the muddy floor.
"I guess I'll be hitting the street tonight.
Sleep in an alley tonight.
Nobody cares."
Slouching
in forgotten tap rooms
dirty old men,
forgotten old men,
slop piss coloured beer.
Nobody cares....
