Inspired by a plaque I saw above a seat in a pub.!2th poem in my book Quill 2 Ink 2 Paper
Albert


In memory of Albert
the Domino King,
a plaque was placed
above his seatBigsmilebr /> "In six and seventy years
not one night did he miss,
so let's not forget Albert
the Domino King.”

In memory of Albert
a wake was held.
A free drink served
to all who came.
Glasses were raised,
a toast proposed.
"Let’s not forget Albert
the Domino King.”

It is often said
that if you sit
under that plaque,
you will feel a cold chill
run down your spine.
For it is a ghost watching you.
To ensure you don't forget Albert
the Domino King.
