5627 - A pint of Holts

Holts bitter isn’t one of my favourites 
It lives up to its name, though it is cheap 
Met Paul in the Old Monkey (not the Ritz!)
Then later, Night and Day on Oldham Street 
And finally the English Lounge. Defeat 
Avoided by Southampton, playing well 
Against League leaders Man City - fine feat
And fine feet too, fine football skill
But by this time we weren’t feeling too well
Paul caught his bus back to Leigh and repeats
His previous bus trick of falling asleep 💤 
He woke up in time, ill but not too ill 
And went on to drink more. Me, tried to hit
Some more cans, only one, then a retreat
