Glenn on the prowl........

Old Monk Sonnet



A Sonnet On Our favorite drink….

For Seven years you’ve been blended to a taste so fine.
You’ve always been around for us at any time.
A good companion, who comes at a very low price.
You bring people together from sunset to sunrise.
We bang on the shutters for you when the shops are closed by night.
We care a damn if we are unable to get a coke or sprite.
You’ve brought feeling to our lives, at moments of desperation.
For most of us, you have been our mentor and our inspiration
We drink to our pain or joy, one peg at a time
But no matter how much we drink, with no hangovers, things are just fine
They talk of Gandhi being the father of our Nation,
To us you are, the father of our thoughts and creation,
We don’t give up on things, even if we think our lives have sunk
There’s always a solution to a problem when we have you dear Old Monk
