An old Irish bar
with Sumo wrestling on tube
watching burly Japanese men
in their version of a thong
holds limited appeal
but I guess it’s more exciting
than baseball or curling
An Irish lass singing
“As Time Goes By”
on the sound system
but I’m not moved to weep
and the glass is approaching empty
soon we must move on
a bright sun outside intimidates
but vampiric impulses
must be overcome
There is much to be done
and many places to visit
