Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE COLTS (PART ONE) It’s Friday night at the Colts again, the same old crowd is here Smoking lots of cigarettes, and drinking lots of beer Matt stands at the fruit machine, clad in leathers black He thinks he’s really sexy, the “leader of the pack” Dave sits on his favourite stool, spaced out of his brain A couple of pints of Guinness, then he hits the scotch again Bonnie’s at the fruit machine, losing all her money Jon is telling her a joke, he knows she’ll think is funny Kit is at the juke box, putting on some songs A couple of beers later, he’ll get the words all wrong Caroline is serving drinks behind The Three Colt’s bar Matt really wants to shag her, but he’s not getting very far Vince comes through the door, a grin upon his face But he’s not really with us, he’s somewhere up in space Stan the man is here, he always makes us laugh Matt really likes Anita, (she doesn’t make him ‘barf’) In the corner playing Cluedo, Richie Davey, Brad and Liz They think they’re really clever, ‘cos they always win the quiz Muz and Tim are with them, they think it’s really funny Tim’s pissed again on just two pints but I guess it saves on money! Phil must be here somewhere, we can here him through the crowd He’s often very drunk (and he’s always very loud!) Sid’s looking for his Aardvark, or it might be a giraffe Sidney’s such a nutter, he always makes me laugh Eleven thirty comes and the night is over then But tomorrow night you know, we will all be back againJust a little tribute to all my buddies down at my local.
