At the lively bar
Both the king and the jester
Sit in the same chair

Sipped it deliberately
And planned his next move

And his favorite beer was gone.
No complaints escaped.

That sat alone at the bar
Every day this week

Thing of the Day: Great Bar Food at Home
While drinking at home late last night
I had me a terrible fright
To the fridge I did go
And I suffered a blow
The only thing there was called Lite
My head quickly started to spin
What a pickle I found I was in
I suppose I could find
Something else for my mind
Perhaps vodka or what about gin?
I ran to my home bar so fast
And what I found left me aghast
If only I’d known
That my whole stock was blown
Oh, the size of my problem was vast
She left real quickly
Lost at the bar, I ponder
Barkeep, suggestions?
Written by Ignace.

Five o’clock beckons
Drawn by cheap food and cold beer
I head to the bar.

attentive barmaid
my mug is never empty
you have no equal
