Poem title: Ode to The Poets Pub (inspired by Beethoven's Ode to Joy)

Dedication: to The Poets Pub

O friends, more of these words!

Let us write cheerful poems,

and fill them with hope!

Thy magic pencil unites

in a world that seems so divided

Let strangers become sisters and brothers

Under the wings of The Pub

As Christmas yet again nears

our spirits are ruffled and torn

A tried people in trying times

We shall not succumb and give in

In these challenging times

with our invisible foe

More than ever is needed

Thy sanctuary
