Four Green Fields has closed <br />That is why I write this ode <br />For year Joe Borkowski and I <br />We entertained many a gal and many a guy <br />After I played bass behind Pat McDunn and the Gaels <br />Who sung Irish tunes and told many Irish tales <br />Some were short and some were tall <br />In this Beaumont Hospital strip mall <br />Pat was popular at one time in his day <br />So were we at one time in the same way. <br />It was packed on Thursdays when we did perform <br />We were of Polish background, and for entertainers, <br />- who sang in Irish pubs, that was not the norm. <br />We were witness to odd things in the bar, things not that smart, <br />Such as a person who wanted get stuck with a dart. <br />There were many people who got engaged <br />Some of the people were deranged <br />But most of all it was, <br />A good place to have beer, food your favorite adult beverage, <br />Some waitresses were caught, buy a sting, serving minors who were underage. <br />But usually all was well in this pub, <br />Outside Royal Oak downtown, S/W 13 Mile and Woodward, which was one a many hub. <br />So farewell Woodbridge Tavern, Hurling Green, Deacon Brodie's Tavern <br />- and Four Green Fields, I'll see you later in the song Fiddler's Green*. <br />Joe and I'll entertaining crowds and talking and meeting people that we have seen.<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-four-green-fields-rip-in-royal-oak-michigan/
