The Venue<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Could you please wait for the indicator buzzer<\/p>\n on the control panel: staff will be glad to oblige.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though let\u2019s be blunt, we want you as guinea pigs,<\/p>\n to make you feel responsible, and see you blush.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sorry about the air in here, the fan\u2019s broken<\/p>\n and the drains come up with an occasional belch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A pleasure to be of service. Please mind your hair<\/p>\n in the sagging cables, if you\u2019re sitting near the bulge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The manager seems lonely up there in his cockpit<\/p>\n but he\u2019s looking for new worlds to abolish.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We like to think the place is hygienic, the vinyl floor<\/p>\n is regularly scrubbed with a special bleach,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and the metal fixtures polished by our skivvies<\/p>\n gleam to charm you if you\u2019re going to get bolshie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So splash your wine where you like. On the sofa<\/p>\n the chocolate stains are guaranteed Belgian.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peter Daniels<\/strong> has two collections, Counting Eggs<\/em> <\/a>(Mulfran, 2012) and A Season in Eden<\/em><\/a> (Gatehouse, 2016).
