1783 - Long night's journey into day

Saturday morning bus to Liverpool
Blue skies way above John Lennon Airport
Before noon, easyJet made us look fools
But we boarded, acted like we were taught
We caught the S-3 to Spandau which brought
Us past Alexanderplatz on the train
Brought us to our hotel, which was a sort
Of railway station hotel, and a pain
Next morning I awoke holding this pen
And with this poem, unfinished, and full
Of beer and headache, hearing the report
Of a German woman who kept saying
Train times, though I was full, oh much too full
Of beer to care... This poem was hard-fought
Sat 23 July
