Jukebox on in the corner <br />a group of lads playing Pool <br />arrows being thrown at a dartboard <br />and a drunk acting the fool. <br />Loads of blokes in football shirts <br />watching a live game on the T.V. <br />a woman sipping at her Orange juice <br />while her partner knocks back Whisky. <br />Four chaps sit around a table <br />there playing three card brag <br />as one of them counts his winnings <br />the others go outside for a fag. <br />The pub gets noisier by the hour <br />words are now slurred due to the drink <br />some customers are now so drunk <br />they don't care what anyone may think. <br />Last orders is shouted out loudly <br />the landlord wants to call it a night <br />but before he can close the doors <br />he has to break up a drunken fight. <br />So that's a night in the rough house pub <br />as English as Cheese on Toast <br />a plate of Fish and Chips <br />or a good old Sunday roast!<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-spit-and-sawdust-pub/
