Reform UK pub.

To be an Inglourious Basterd

becomes tempting

VII.IX


It's more difficult to walk when every pocket

is filled with pennies and five-penny bits

Just for this short trip she says "fock it"

and leaves the flat not giving any shits.

She puts the coins inside a cushion cover

and carries it in one hand like a cosh

and when arm tires, holds it like a lover

while whispering sweet nothings to the dosh.

At least the local corner shop is open

despite the banks declaring it a day

when workers can be at home and hoping

they still have nothing taken from their pay.

Everyone welcome, except non-whites, queers, women and liberals.

That Reform pub should have a flat roof, a meat raffle and an old bulldog tied up outside for the authentic experience.
