Muldoon's

If you go down to Pullman Avenue

just behind the Lusty Life bookstore,

you'll see a green, neon sign hanging over a door -

go in there.

If it's the weekend, the band will be playing

and the place will be full, but not too.

You may have to pay

because "Swampy" collects .

It's cheaper, if you’re a regular.

The people you’ll see are like most others

except they all seem

to be having a good time.

There’s laughing and drinking

and people are friends.

On weekdays you'll find the lunch bunch

of which I am a member,

although at time, known as "Golden Afternoons"

we've all become members, joining the night set .

The point of this place was once summed up

"an original neighbourhood bar”,

yet, now, it seems, people have changed

and newer friends live at this magic place.

A combination of talk to honest people

with the greatest of mix you can imagine,

causes you to think.

In knowing them I've learned about myself.

Go on down there

and maybe you'll find out about you.
