Our Favourite Watering Hole Poem by Francis Duggan

On our way home from work we stop off at our Local for a few hours of drinking with our mates
And 'tis not of art we do be talking or theatre or literary greats
We talk of Aussie Rules Footballers and the player who kicked the best goal
And the player who took the greatest mark at our favourite Watering Hole.

Leonardo or Darwin or Einstein we don't bother to talk about
But who is winning in the Test Cricket and how many have been bowled out
Or is Tendulkar or Lara or Bradman the greatest to ever swing the cricket bat
Our favourite Watering Hole in the evening is good for a drink and a chat.

We don't talk of Van Gogh or Shakespeare they were never good at football
Or Eva peron or Abe Lincoln no they do not interest us at all
No our subjects uncomplicated such as the great loves of our lives
The women we loved married others and our scapegoats always our wives.

Our favourite Watering Hole as we call it without it life would be a bore
We socialize there every evening for two or three hours sometimes four,
We do not talk of things cultural like classical music or literature or art,
We talk of the things that interest us the subjects most dear to our heart.
