Country Pubs
Bubbling babbling burbling banter from the bar.. Sup hush….memory lane trip...Proustian rush..pleasingly tickled. Plushly ebbed…spidery beer swirls webbed…whirls..down dimpled dappled jar.. Parched pagans besmirch..sip...druid fluid drip..Iris’s secular church.. Venerate yesteryear dips…commemorate Faustian fillips....teasingly pickled.. Smug treacle toned thatch rugs hug sturdy slabs.. shrugs.. Tugs tussling tree torn trusses and trestles.... Trumpets tradition.. crisp crumpets in flames..sedition flickering.. Like sassy strumpets calling each...

Premium Member My Venerable Dad - Memory Snippet On Fathers Day
