I did drive to Hebden last night, despite
Taking a wrong turning. They start so late
It would be hard to miss open mic night
Which starts about 9:15. See? So late
Especially for the likes of me, to wait
Around while folk come and go for a smoke
By the canal, or reach a drunken state
Maybe explains the frequency some folk
Forget their lyrics, like the short fat bloke
Who had to abandon song in mid-flight
Or maybe, mid-fight, as he fought his fate
The words refusing to fly back. So, choked,
He resumed seat and pint, and thought what might
Have been, clear mind able to concentrate
Thur 24 Sept
