Ever been in a pub where it tells a story <br />wherever it be sad or full of glory. I love the Inns of <br />smugglers dens and IOU notes written by quill pens. <br />Where a tinker, tailor or maybe a sailor would toss <br />coin and gamble with a whaler.On a piece of tooth he <br />told his tale of how he came to kill his whale. <br />Scrimshaw they called it, a sailors art. passed on to <br />love ones when their souls depart. <br />Inns and pubs all over the land, ones on hills <br />and ones on the sand, all telling their story of land <br />hope and glory.Inns that sell food all day and night, <br />just as it was in the heart of the fight. The fight being <br />the land our English countryside, where Inns and pubs <br />are dotted far and wide. <br />Norfolk and Suffolk and as far as kent, with an Inn owner <br />that was truly bent. Brandy from France you could tell <br />at a glance, but with the method they used the poor Brandy <br />was abused. <br />Smugglers caves along the English coast, that tell of stories <br />that will include a ghost. <br />Secret tunnels that go down to the church, where barrels of <br />brandy were left in the lurch. <br />Norfolk and Suffork the pride of the east coast, where many a <br />story has been told about a smuggler or may be a ghost.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pubs-that-tell-a-story/
