A Wetherspoons’ Species
All life forms can be seen in Wetherspoons.
The angry, the timid, the lost and the found.
Homo erectus is outside smoking and drinking,
With Mrs homo erectus in her dressing gown.
Their mobility scooters are parked together,
While they enjoy much cheap ale and food.
Regardless of the weather they are there.
Oh, and of course, they are both tattooed.
Keep your distance, gain no eye contact.
Be vigilant on your route to the bar.
Watch out for other strange neanderthals,
Especially ones with an acoustic guitar.
Drunk as skunks they scoot home together.
God help those who enter their path.
No prisoners they take when full of booze.
Careful, homo erectus might be a psychopath!
