As sure as the rising sun
And the darkness that ensues
The clock pauses at four
15010 will have all the news
Bottles in hand and glasses too
A badger brigade untamed
Marches across to share stories
Problem solving the endgame
Some count their saved points
While others measure pours
Howling laughter overflows
Not one person is bored
As the clock moves to five
Attendees drift home smiling content
With knowledge this hour
Is forever an hour well spent
HAPPY HOUR - SYNOPSIS
Where is your special place at day’s end? Do you march off to the gym for that endorphin surge? Perhaps you are the type that prefers quiet meditation at a yoga class. As a retiree, the time constraints of work become a shadow of the past. However, on a prescribed day, at four o’clock, a group of neighbors would head over in badger-like brigade to one designated home where stories were exchanged and world problems editorialized often with tenacity. In that one hour, laughter and friendship glued the resolve for it to be a recurring calendar event. Not sure we ever accomplished much, but I always left with a smile and a feeling of security and gratitude.
