Two English men abroad, eccentric country, drunk and elegiac

Appear and feel out of place as they sit drinking whisky

In a hotel bar with little ambience and a little hostility, with their hosts drinking nothing

More than copious amounts of coffee and curious looking tea.

The two written off poets watch with a grin as the waiters and bar tenders

All dressed in company suits and corresponding company smiles

As they reposition back and forth and taking orders to the timing of low piano keys

Like Liberace, so loud in an elegant casual style.
