At Dirty Dick's

By Jack Brummet

Dean Ericksen sent me this great found photo. It chimed. I remembered WH Auden's poem Master and Bosun's Song (which Francis used to often read and became one of the maybe ten poems I can recite from heart). I don't know the provenance of Dirty Dick's, but Auden wrote:

"At Dirty Dick's and Sloppy Joe's
We drank our liquor straight.
Some went upstairs with Marjorie
And some, alas, with Kate..."
