Some
Rhyme & Poetry From The Pub
Free
to sit & free to think
Free to pay for what you drink
Free to stop and hour or so
When uneasy, free to go
In
God We Trust - All Others Pay Cash
My
beer is good, my measure just
Forgive me, please, I cannot trust
I've trusted many to my sorrow
So pay to-day and owe to-morrow
We
have been pleasing & displeasing the public
ever since we started.
We
have also been cussed and discussed, robbed, lied
to, held up, hung up & knocked up.
The
only reason we are staying in business is to see
what the hell happens next!!
Life
is just one damned thing after another.
When
you LIE, let it be by a pretty lady
When you SWEAR, swear by your country
When you STEAL, steal away from bad company
When you DRINK, drink at......
The
Pub
136 Archbishop Street
Valletta VLT 10
Malta
Call
frequently - Drink moderately
Pay honourably - Be good company
Part friendly - Go home quietly
If
I rest, I rust
If I trust, I bust
No rest, No rust
No trust, No bust
Life!

A philosophy
professor stood before his class and had some
items in front of him. When the class began,
wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise
jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about
2" in diameter. He then asked the students if
the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of
pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook
the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled
into the open areas between the rocks. He then
asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor then picked up a box of sand and
poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled
up everything else. "Now," said the professor,
"I want you to recognise that this is your life.
The rocks are the important things - your
family, your partner, your health, your children
- things that if everything else was lost and
only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like
your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything
else; the small stuff. If you put the sand into
the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles
or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If
you spend all your time and energy on the
small stuff, you will never have room for the
things that are important to you. Pay attention
to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out dancing. Visit your
family. There will always be time to go to work,
clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the
disposal. "Take care of the rocks first
- the things that really matter. Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."
But then...a student took the jar which
the other students and the professor agreed was full,
and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course
the beer filled the remaining spaces within the
jar making the jar truly full.
Which proves: that no matter
how full your life is, there is always room for
beer.
NOTICE
Will
the lady or gentleman who stole two glasses on Saturday
kindly hand their names over the counter when they
will be presented with four more to make up their
half-dozen, wrapped in the other two toilet towels
which were found missing.

Bless You All
