Closing The Bar Poem by Pierre Gaspaigne

It now is almost closing time
So one more pint for me,
But first I'm going to the loo
Because I've got to pee.

The clock says midnight's coming soon
But I want one more drink.
Here in the bar it's warm and light
Outside it's cold and dark as ink.

The barkeep says, ' Now gents, it's time'.
I rush to fill my glass,
And elbow forward to the bar,
I can't let this chance pass.

I truly love the cheery glass
Of golden ale and foam.
So Barkeep, give me just one more
Before I stagger home.
