Day after the Summer Solstice in the Flying Goose Tavern
As we lift another glass of porter,
what matters it that days grow shorter?
Even in the fading light,
we need not fear the night’s cold bite.
Warm friends and cold drafts warm our hearts,
aided by a game of darts!

Nice meter and rhyme. I like how even the cold drafts of beer warm one’s hearts. Nice photo collage of the Flying Goose Tavern.

Yes. Bit of an oxymoron there. I could have set it in Britain where even a warm draft would do, but then a warm “draft” might still be a bit of a contradiction!

Looks like a busy place! CA is trying to go on year-round daylight time — will that help keep the days long?!

That’s amazing. I hadn’t heard that.

It’s not a given — has passed both houses of the legislature, though, and will likely be signed by the Gob. It needs Congressional approval, though. It’s a good solution — will stop the 6-month disruptions that are injurious to health & happiness, and will allow us the light when we need it, in the afternoons! I hope it works. There have also been rumors that some other parts of the country are considering it too, though I don’t remember where.

Ah, and did you see the solstice in? I love the couplets. Love the look of the place as well. But I’m certain a few hours in that little spot and I wouldn’t know day from night!

I in fact saw the solstice out–but at home. Alas, the Flying Goose Tavern is but a figment of my imagination.

Oh well, we all must have our delusions… and hope they are wonderful ones, filled with friendly people. 🙂

Those photos were taken in four different places, but all nice places! So you get four times the delusions.

That could be a problem if drink is involved.

I did, indeed, but wasn’t aware it was the solstice at the time.
