It is Day 778 of the Daily Poems, and our poet Colin Hopkirk reports the regrets, nay complaints, of a real ale drinker …
Real ale
you can’t drink real ale
from a plastic glass
even a plastic glass that’s hard
a glass that looks like real glass
it isn’t right
it’s wrong, really wrong
it’s not just wrong
it’s an abomination
Colin Hopkirk
