Acceptable

[Cooper]

Acceptable

Watch out for those pink shirted boys

who after spending all night at Flamingo’s

like nothing more than a kick-a-bout

with someone’s head.

I will go out on a limb....as the flamingo said to his mate. I would like to read more of the street scene if you have it, I think there needs to be more. Good luck.

I like the this little vignette - have seen the scene many a times - a bunch of sterotypes amped up on booze and midnight kebabs roaming the urban savannah looking for victims.

I am assuming the title is ironic?

Flamingo’s... tenors a gay bar!
pink shirts... pink could be sharp (like business shirts)

Liked the tone of the poem, more than anything else. "Pink shirted boys" sound nice, no matter they are or not. I wonder why the title is "Acceptable". Puzzles me. Must be just me.
Thanks.

Do you mean Flamingo's in Woolwich? I receieved a right hander from the bouncers one night many years ago. Horrible meat market. Great stanza. I may steal your theme!!

Good stanza, Cooper.

Hope you'll always be safe.
