Never Mind The Quality

In a quality pub
for the more discerning
I'm in a corner
quietly squirming.

Erudite boozers
are parading their learning.
As their voices boom out
I find I am yearning

for basic pub chat
that's only concerning
the weather forecast
and/or what they are earning.

Instead it's opinions
and issues (burning).
All I want is a drink.
I won't be returning.
