    man from Austin

    there once was a man from Austin
    who said “I no longer drink. it’s a toxin”
    he stood his ground
    til the whiskey went down
    and rewrote his whole fuckin doctrine

    someone I adore

    there once was someone I adore
    that said “we can’t do this anymore”
    one drink one grin
    and I’m right back in
    my morals t…Read More

    • Simply fantastic, Dru! 🍻
      The meter may be a bit wonky, but your creative imagery, spot-on rhymes, and dancing rhythm make your efforts worthy a pound of Elvish Gold*
      I really got a very good laugh out of your unique “Only You” sense-of-humor … especially, with L4 ‘n 5, Limerick 2. ; )))

  • bi-trillets attempt. this one wasn’t easy for me…never do well when rhymin is involved.

    endless night confession

    breathe in the black smoke, love feels like a joke
    the nights we wasted tasted strange
    cheap liquor kiss, dirty exchange
