A PINT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH

When life gets more than jumbled
and luck throws you a stare,
when things don’t seem to go your way
and there’s pitfalls everywhere,
when the plumber overcharges
for prodding in your loo,
get yourself down to the pub
a pint will see you through.

When your car starts acting up
and parts fall to the floor,
when someone doesn’t know you’re there
and slams your finger in the door,
when the handyman of finance
starts tightening the screw,
get yourself down to the pub
a pint will see you through.

When your favourite sweater
is all but thread and bare,
when the toss who works across
has swapped your office chair,
when the Bolognese is burnt
and the spaghetti tastes like glue,
get yourself down to the pub
a pint will see you through.
