High Tide


Gail

You are cordially invited to meet

Josie Cora and myself

Outside of the White X pub

Either wear no shoes

Or be prepared to remove them

As this is the pub that floods

At high tide the beer garden

Becomes part of the River Thames

The staff change into wellingtons

And bring drinks from the bar

I knew it in passing

But it soon became my local

(even though I do not drink)

( I only think)

Virginia reintroduced me

To this wonderful place

Shortly after we moved to Richmond

Bring your poems

I am seeing David on Monday
