Pub



Yes, tonight too, he will walk a mile to downtown—
round a table with the others about nine.
“ 'must be Tuesday, right on schedule! ”, says the waitress.
    It seems that their habit
    has gone somewhat noticed within the pub.
An important unimportant special topic
gets a chewing midst the drinking of the ale.
An agreement is as likely as the obverse—
    only seldom guilty
    of being too certain in what they know.
If this leaves you confused you belong there.
You'll find mustard to sharpen the sage.
Hurry and go this very weeknight.
Pick up your fellows as you pass middle age.


Pub
Bob Komives
Yes, tonight too, he has walked a mile to downtown—
one or two rounds, two or three friends make a night.
“ 'see you next week, right on schedule! ”, says the waitress.
    He accepts a drop off
    either in the Packard or in the Dodge.
On important unimportant special topics,
one last chewing in the dim light of the street.
Final insight: (since the ale was somnifacient)
    If they are to finish,
    they will have to gather again next week.
If this leaves you confused you belong there.
You'll find mustard to sharpen the sage.
Hurry and go this very weeknight.
Pick up your fellows as you pass middle age.
