Poem
Led to believe you'd help me achieve the grace of a ballerina a voice operatic from my usual asthmatic cackle like a laughing hyena Distaste despite I endured your bite the party with gusto to steer true state of affairs via video fare: drunk, I'm a weirdo, witless and queer Alone on my porch bench abhorring my stench I sit with my head on the pound in hangover's claws I glare at the cause: scores of bottles strewn all around "I'll drink no more on wine declare war as of now I'm calling you quits thief of humanity my reason for insanity 'cos of you my life's in the pits." A-cuss and a-curse I pick up the first: "Say hello to the wall of the park sing your last aria afore I smash yer!!" as with a discus fling a wide arc "Nice tinkle I reckon." bend for a second: "You fiend, I'll smash you to bits you dug me a hole my life to control stole the bigger chunk of my wit." Tinkle-smash-tinkle my eyes a-twinkle: "Down with alcohol, scourge of society to drink is absurd." smashing a third "You monster, you stole my sobriety." "Whoa! Whoa! This one is weighty unlike your mateys with you I've never had quibble in fairness to you you'll lift my blues for my woe I don't hold you responsible." DELYSIA. FOR GIORGIO'S CONTEST. INSPIRED BY: "Dear alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer. I saw the video. We need to talk..." - Anonymous
