The drunk men in the pub
++
What did the drunk men say?
In the pub.
Where only darkness visits.
Hauling and shouting,
But no one hears anyone.
++
Beer glasses of bear size,
Amber hue shining in
The dim flushed light.
Neon lights; night blue.
The door of the pub never rests.
+++
The chap in the corner said,
"Mr. Boo, you sound like a
Creepy shoe with sweetness withheld
You better shut your cavity flanked
With two fluffy crooked lips."
+++
"You better not waste your murky mind
On me; you have stuff to care about
Think about the sins, Mr. Scott
Imprisonment was not even fair enough
You would go to hell and not heaven."
+++
"Ah! Look who is babbling that,
Mr. Boo, I guess you would be
Polite enough to remember the days
When I gave you protection from
The dodging cops in the county."
+++
Everyone else was enjoying the face-off
And, waited with greedy eyes to feed
Upon the scene which would soon
Portray Mr. Boo and Mr. Scott
Wrestling and hurling names on each other.
+++
Soon the expectations bore fruit,
Folks out there split in two groups;
One supported Mr. Boo and the
Other abutted Mr. Scott, gladly,
Chaos, wreckage, glasses clashed.
++++++++
Soon the cops arrived with their
Horn honking enough to alert
The folks out there but two;
Still busy with their fights,
Were banished out of the pub.
