Bank

The Sheveling Wine Estate

Black Americano and Creme Brûlée

Yes, here at the top of the Holme Valley

Overlooking the vineyard on the hillside


There appears to be a problem allocating tables

Although I am sat by a window

It seems that the computer is at fault

Its algorithm’s being somewhat inflexible


I never knew quite so many romantics

Frequented the Holmfirth region

Not at least since Last of the Summer Wine

Brought tears to our visitor’s eyes


I myself, once the mid-life crisis lover

Wrote a levelling up letter, on the moor

Sat by a dry-stone summer’s wall

Where a butterfly kept me company
