Here I am at “Grill’d” On Pakington Street
Enjoying a few relaxing beers
I introduce myself to Ryan, chef and barman, in charge
We chat about our travel adventures
Then I happened to mention that I’m a writer
And he’s genuinely interested in my poetry booklets
After talking about the purpose of my writings
Ryan enthusiastically agrees to display a couple of my books
On the restaurant’s customer magazine rack
I’m humbled, and smiling, beyond pleased
I explain to Ryan, there’s an advert inside the covers
Informing the readers, that they may purchase the books
A few blocks down, on Pakington Street
At the counter of the M.S. Charity shop
With all proceeds going to the M.S. Society
I gratefully shake Ryan’s hand
And I say I’ll be back regularly, to change-over the booklets
Cheers To Ryan, and a sincere thank you to “Grill’d” On Pakington Street.
