Nana’s Irish Pub

 

Nana’s Irish Pub at Nye Beach

dark woods within, open patio

with shade to hide those who burn

in the sun and a metal water bowl

beneath each table to refresh dogs

while their people eat thick corned

beef sandwiches oozing melted cheese

while wrens flit along the cobbled

bricks looking for crumbs

when there are none, patrons sipping

ginger beer drop generous supplies—there is plenty to share

and all of it delicious
