Spotting Socrates at a Wetherspoons
Socrates drink your wine
at the other end of the bar
away from me
Socrates go drink your wine
in the ancient sun
Don’t you know we came here
for beer and breakfast?
Socrates stroke your beard
shake your thoughts from your old head
Don’t tell me or them or us
Socrates we are playing at home today
Do you know what time’s kickoff?
Do you know there’s gonna be
one hell of a crowd?
