The White Horse

We sat in’t pub and drank our beer
When glass was empty we asked for more
Raised a shout, “Be of good cheer.”
When time was called we locked the door.

When glass was empty we asked for more
Played buzz phizz whizz in the snug
When time was called we locked the door.
Some spilt their drink upon the rug.

Played buzz phizz whizz in the snug
Tom cleaned the painting with a scouring pad
Some spilt their drink upon the rug.
The locals said we must be mad.
