#2,676 Open Mic – Lewes – Again

Open mic night above real ale
aficionados – all tawdry crowd
& beery chat outside slopping
sup o’ laughter beyond a lifted
sash window – this audience’ll
enjoy poor stage management
& banshee of feedback – Chord
changes & recited words are a
mess of mis-starts & low levels
as earnest amateurs gather all
their arts before an SM58 mic –
our hosts cobble & shoe-in our
night’s line-ups – Our ale sinks
quickly under our grins – but a
song or word’ll sit long ‘nough
to stop all our knocking backs
