I'll tell you some lies
About ever after
and elegant sighs
Of love that's eternal
Man, what a joke
Just buy me another
and light up my smoke"
I sat by his side
and got him his drink
I lit up his smoke
He gave me a wink
And told me a story
of passion and pain
I'm thinkin' the drinkin'
had pickled his brain
Now after an hour
of tantrums and tears
a bottle of whiskey
and multiple beers
He slumped on the bar
a shell of a man
and I took a moment
to go to the can...
Now when I returned
he had second wind
and ranted some more
of how she had sinned
"She left me a pauper "
He said with a sigh
I ordered another
"This time you can buy "
As soon as those words
had slipped from my lips
A woman came to him
Her hands on her hips
And said, " Time to go dear"
With love in her eyes...
yep...
I bought him some drinks
and he told me some lies

Isn't that what people generally get in bars; one night stands and a glass full of lies? Damn, that would be a great poem, Larry. Why don't you write it and save some poor soul a few bucks or heartbreak, lol. Seriously, this is a great write. Might wake one or two people up, ya think?
Petals for ya, Pooka,
Rita |

Wow what can I say, this sounds really familiar. You really write this well. I can feel the expressions you are using. So well done again Larry on a profound write.

Brilliant Larry, I was not expection the ending at all. At first I was thinking of "Love On The Rocks" from Neil Diamond ... but your form and style as wonderful as ever just stripped that away by the end of the first stanza.
You deserve bushels of roses for this one.

Did I miss something here? I laughed my fool head off
at the last stanza. I must have taken this quite differently
than the others.
I pictured poor Larry, sitting there with some love-torn man,
crying in his beer and Larry doing his best to console him and
buy his drinks. And then bam, his wife shows up and
Larry realizes the man had been fabricating, (for whatever reason).
In any case, a great write Larry. I loved it!

Your creative wit is eternal. I was gone for some months, but have returned to see you still awing us all.
Bar keep, just water for my friend tonight.
