#art, #poem, #prose, «Life in a Bar»

(Photo by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

I proudly serve

espresso,

macchiato,

americano?

A little bourbon,

a little scotch,

a cuppa tea?

Please wait,

I’ll be right with you.

Something to eat?

Croissant or toast?

Cafe au lait?

A glass of wine

at any time…

Be it at the crack of dawn

at midmorning or midnight,

This bar is always open.

A bar easily is

a refuge for the one’s who need

some silent time to read their mail,

or a place to meet one’s friends and tell,

tall stories over beers or ale…

Whatever you might want or need

the bar is always there indeed,

to either quench your thirst or feed

your appetite for something sweet.

So let us raise a glass and toast

to our favourite bar,

The Ghost!

    A toast to The Ghost indeed. It’s the kind of place where time pauses, and stories flow as freely as the drinks.

    And with that, cheers! May your next drink be ever as satisfying as the words in this poem. 🍻
