Old Spot Poem

The Old Spot
By Yasmin Curtis
The middle of town's not the place you would think
To find rare breed of pig, black spotted on pink
And where dogs share with people a comforting drink
The Dursley 'Old Spot'.

Past the beams wreathed in hops and the pumps for draught beer
Into welcoming corners with warm atmosphere
Where stressful. pace slows to embrace yesteryear
Down the 'Old Spot'.

The intimate nook where a farrowing sow
Would give birth to her piglets and to them endow
A different brew to the one that's served now
Down the 'Old Spot'.

Where songs of Olde Englande emerge from the past
To blend the low chatter and clinking of glass
To a mellowness seasoned by harvests and grass
Down the 'Old Spot'.

The middle of town is the place you will find
A breath of timespast, so prepare to unwind
In an ambience of the traditional kind:
The Dursley 'Old Spot'.

The Old Spot Prayer

Old Spot Inn
By Ric Sainty. Feb 1999
Our Beer, Which art in Barrels,
Hallowed be thy drunk.
I will be drunk,
At home as it is in the Local.

Forgive us this day, our daily spillage,
As we forgive those who spillest against us.

And lead us not into the practice of poncy wine tasting,
And deliver us from Alco-Pops.
For mine is the Bitter,
The Ale and the Lager,
Forever and Ever,
Barmen.



The Old Spot 'Guard' Dog!
By Irene Skelton. 2003
Little Jack Westie at the Old Spot
You are so friendly, we like you a lot
Sat in the window or out in the Bar
We can't wait for Tuesdays to see how you are
A snack from Barbara and one from Irene
A saucer of milk; how you wish it was cream
A stroke and a cuddle, a kiss and a tickle
Then off to the bar, my Word! You are fickle
We love you Jack Spot, you're our little chum
That's enough praise! Oooh away wi ye wee laddie
Back to your Mum!
