DR KEITH ARMSTRONG - TRAVELLING POET!

TRAVELLING POET


He travels by plane and train.
The words travel in his brain.
And if we sit in the Karpershoek,
the beer travels in us again.
 


Martin van de Vijfeijke



From my friend Martin in Amsterdam, a long term companion in one of my favourite (and one of the oldest) Amsterdam bars, the Karpershoek!:
