Welcome to the ‘Thirsty Bear’, your hosts
Of what used to be an alehouse or tavern
Exiled the former customers – their ghosts
Linger like the shades in Plato’s cavern.
On the new menu, sausage of wild boar
Replaces crisps and toasted cheese and ham.
The ice blue walls and iPads I am sure
Are contemporary, yet I am
Nostalgic for the former boozed up nights
The bloke from Loaded who used to hold court
The booming television and the fights
To get to the bar. England on Sky Sport
The gassy beer, the time that Bonehead played
The rowdy nights whose memories don't fade.
