Pubbing & Clubbing (late 60s / early 70s)

 

The pulsating beat

searing into your head

like a hot poker

 

The stench of stale beer

on a smoke-laden atmosphere

 

Clinking glasses

Euphoric screams

Skull-piercing strobe lighting

 

Empty condom machines

in toilets lit by ultraviolet

to deter drug users

 

Bouncers

Pushers

Pimps & Posers

 

Smooth-talking

gelatine-haired youths

chatting up gullible

semi-drunk girls

who have to squat

between parked cars

for a pee

on the walk back to

Sir Galahad's

seedy bed-sit.

 

Yeah ! Seen it all.

Got the T-shirt;

I used to be young too !

Thank you Big Sal.
I'm still bumping around in the dark until I get the feel of this site.
For example there are plenty text formatting options, but it is a waste of time using them because everything just re-sets to house style....damned annoying.

Anything but an empty condom machine!

Shit, vasectomy anyone?

?

No, but you managed to instill humor, intelligence and many more things into this piece of nostalgia. I liked it.?
