Your Humble Poet

I was crying at the liquor store
and they didn't even ask why
I guess they get a lot of that
or maybe they figured, shit
"I am not a bartender."
Well damn it I don't like sitting in bars
unspooling my boo hoo tale to some dick
excuse me, or dickess,
for tips and applause!
I am not this evening's entertainment!
No, sir.
But as I open up my empty home
and set down the heavy paper sack
I take a bow

Why thank you for the kind words!

You might want to not click the 'poetry' label...

I just did now. Very pretty!

Every now and then I write one that I feel actually works as a poem, but honestly I find most of my poems to be ridiculous. To insult the very idea of poetry!

A lofty goal perhaps.
