5176 - After work

After work, as it gradually grew dark
Unnecessarily spent the evening 
Sitting outside but enjoying the craic
Just listening to the music and drinking 
The last week or so it’s been increasing 
To every other day or so it seems 
As autumn sunshine cools and dark sets in
Round late October, get these foolish schemes 
In my head, that through winter I’ll have been 
Unwilling to drink because of the stark
Bitter weather, the sheer cold that’s stopping 
Me. Why, when I can sit inside with scenes
On TV, tunes playing, heat on?  It works
I do it every year. You just stay in
