The "Pub", the "Pub", now here's the rub,
on lower toe I've found the stub
of something writ from ages past,
have I returned, at long, long last?

Vague memories of "Stuters" float,
and crayons, and kings, and things verbot
en, then there came der "Blackmitunst"
und so I perished more than once.

I've not a clue which year this is
my slate's been wiped clean of all fizz.
Back to the "stute" I shall return
with hope that Passions there still burn.

A moment please, I'll grab my bag,
avoid Nurse Kratchets' constant nag,
fire up the way, way-back machine
come with me, ya'll, let's make the scene!

Wow, it's twenty eleven and so much has changed,
so please forgive me if I'm acting strange.
My last recollection was to order a drink,
I said "gin and tonic" but what happened I think,
was the bar-keep mis-heard me and mixed me instead
a great big "catatonic" and that's all she read!

On coming around I checked in at the 'stute
with a hangover nothing this side of "acute".
But, the place seemed deserted and a sign on the door,
said last updated in 2004!
So bar-keep a beer, as I've nowhere to go,
I'll just sit here and ponder this tag on my toe.

I like it, whether you're re-treading or not. it is humerous and light hearted. And don't we really write for ourselves anyway, and hope that others like it too?
