The people around me
My chosen company
You do not know how much I love you
And I do, dearly
For all of you I thank God
My friends

a fine evening
a nice place to sit at the table
with tired hands to break bread
and good people to share communion
with good wine to drink
and a warm room to enjoy
with a chair to lean into and recline
and topics of interest to discuss
with the night closing through whiskey
and a blessing for all
Inn
people shoot the breeze at the bar
locals walk through its doors to take their place
men with thick beards discuss preference in women
women
listen
bemused
one man speaks of another town
Dick-head Dennis who lives up there
they are not friends
others talk of footy
a group of girls confer about partners
anecdotes and gossip
while I write notes
we all like this small bar
