This Modern Love..........
By ericthered

Ah my pub shall I count the ways I love thee:
One pint, takes the edge off, what a bad day!
Two, start to relax, time to moan about work.
Three, smile, time to pee.
Four, now what was I so stressed about?
Five, that pressing thing I must talk about.
Six, Ah the ex…….the bitch
Seven, umm feeling bloated.
 
Now for the shorts.
One, I’m quite trashed, did I ever tell you what a good friend you were?
Two, down In one, time gentle please! To the kebab shop and home….

A brave attempt at updating Shakespeare, Iv'e never understood the affection men have for their local, I just know it runs deep. 
One things for sure you don't love your liver,sweetie.

Like BBS, I never understand a man's fondness for the pub. But this definitely epitomises the 'essence of man's modern love'. Good writing! 
 
:p

That does capture the feeling. A bottle of wine (or two) has no complications....
yes!
