Twas
a few weeks before Christmas, when all through the city,
Folk
were out having fun, twas a sight oh-so pretty,
And
amidst all these people there were two of the best,
Who
were preparing themselves for a night of Pubquest.
They
dressed up real smart, taking care of their looks,
And
set off to drink in a place they called Crookes,
They
were ready and focused, they were both in the zone,
And
their first stop that night, would be the Old Grindstone.
From
outside the pub looked really quite gracious,
And
once inside it was most surprisingly spacious,
"I
wonder," said Andrew, "what the beer choices are."
So
to answer his query, we went to the bar.
We
were both very pleased by the large range of beer,
How
smart we both were for having come here!
"Frozen
Assets looks good," I heard Andy shout,
From
Taxman Brewing, it was a rich chocolate stout.
We
each bought a pint and then we sat ourselves down,
As I
sipped at my drink, Andy spotted my frown,
"What's
wrong?" he inquired, "what's wrong?" he asked twice,
I
said "I don't often like stout, but this is rather quite nice!"
We
were enjoying the ale, and we were enjoying the sights,
Surrounded
by tinsel and small Christmas lights,
And
last but not least, we noted with glee,
Was
a beautifully decorated, seven-foot tree.
Amidst
all this splendour, amidst all this cheer,
We
each drank our drinks, in the warm atmosphere,
The
pub was friendly and cosy, and also trendy and cool,
It
played music, had TV, and a table for pool.
The
pub had made a real effort, it looked incredibly festive,
But
it was time to sup up, as we were both getting restive,
It
was already late, and there were more pubs ahead,
There
stood at least one more pint, between me and my bed.
So
while the pub was still busy, filled with lads and with lasses,
We
both downed our drinks, and we returned our glasses,
We
stepped out of the pub, and left behind its many charms,
