It could easily be

It could easily be

A meditation chair

But today it sits

In a circle of six

At the Wortley Arms


This room, small room

With its old stone walls

And three doorways

Was possibly once

No more than a passage


But nowadays in hospitality

Every square foot counts

Each extra cover

Is another diner

And improvisation is for winners


Outside, in bank holiday sunshine

Families meet up

For some kind of celebration

This place, after all

Is where I spent part of my 21st
