Seven ghosts linger inside The Square Tower ...

Richard sipped his taster of Adnams Sole Star - 

There are citrus notes he said - and there are hints of malt - caramel, too - 

The plan is to get my dad to drink sly bottles of Sole Star rather than of Tanglefoot -

Richard and Phil are sommeliers of rare ales - 

They haunt pubs where silent landlords decant porter into antique glasses - 

In dark snugs, poets compose their verses - travellers tell stories of feverish souks - chanteuses remember languid afternoons - 

It's always just before midnight - a full moon casts shadows upon a cobbled street - 

Radios play love songs in the alleyways - 

Gentle waves break upon a shingle beach - 

Seven ghosts linger inside the Square Tower -
