The Sort
He’s a drunk. After two drinks he’s amusing,
after four he’s supercilious and then angry,
kept happy by everyone including the manager.
The barmaid now avoids him after he told her
what to do with the ice bucket.
He’s been divorced twice and is desperately
working on a hat trick. His wife and kids
are to blame. His best friend
avoids him after he claimed he’d slept with his wife
twenty odd years ago. He’s that sort.
