the content
sir, I think you drink too much
to the detriment of your conversation
is no longer interesting
you should say so
long as I’m content and far too drunk to
care what you think
to the detriment of your conversation
is no longer interesting
you should say so
long as I’m content and far too drunk to
care what you think

see her as being alone
have this image of dorothy parker
in a hotel room
with a bottle of scotch and
a typewriter
long before laptops and facebook and
tictoc and apple and zoom
I simply like her
I wish she’d had
someone she could phone ..

and poetry, come to that,
you have to admire their diction ..

alcoholic poet(ry)
a man of letters,
who pens
upon the trivial
matters
in convivial
inns and dens,
where his life is spent invariably
in tatters

there you go again,
claiming calais is english, after
just a few day trips on the ferry
from dover
should have shown
you over and over again that we
ruddy well end at the cliff ..

another cup
one cup of tea and I’m more than
ready to go out of a morning
so grey and windy and wet and
who am I kidding, fill her back up ..

he’s well known for muttering to himself
just two more words and I’d have completed
this week’s crossword puzzle, he mutters to himself,
leaving the train, folding away his newspaper, and stepping out
into the drizzle of the barely morning rain ..

after all
the street is wet and windy
the very pavement slabs uneven with
you holding my hand I still worry
I might fall and take you with me

you holding my hand I still worry
I might fall and take you with me

a beast of burden
he sold the horse to buy the cart;
but then, of course, although he was loth,
he had to sell the cart, at a
reduced price, to buy himself
a donkey, which he saw as something of
a substitute for both ..

a kitchen sinking drama
he has a boat
and keeps asking
me to go out
on it, I’m sorry,
but I won’t, mate,
I don’t float
and keeps asking
me to go out
on it, I’m sorry,
but I won’t, mate,
I don’t float
