Contrast in the calendar (a poem)


Sunday lunch in a nice warm pub
A glass of wine and fulsome grub
A nice clean glass, a comfy chair 
Companions all with news to share
Waiting staff who smile and serve
Who get the tips they all deserve
A happy scene, a welcome place
A friendly smile on every face

Friday night; a different scene
Rowdy yobs and jokes obscene
Insulted as you wander in
Casual racism, tattooed skin 
“Immigrants man, they should all be throttled”
Punches are thrown, a waiter gets bottled
A dirty scene, a sordid place
A drunken scowl on every face
