I Need That Pub Experience

I Need That Pub Experience

I want to be drunk
Yes–totally soaked
May your spirits revive
What needs to be stoked.

Let your words flow
Your ideas sprout
Though my sweat pours
And drips from my snout.

May my thoughts again race
My mind to explore
What at some point
I chose to ignore.

Let me sing
The old songs anew
That once thrilled me
Turning gray skies to blue.

Those old songs
Spoke to my heart
Which now seems
To need a jump start.

Friends gather ‘round
Your friendship renews
My tattered soul
Which has been singing the blues.

This lite ale
These old songs
Your kind words
Once again I feel strong

Thank you all
For hearing me out
And reminding again
What life is about.
