Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Amazingly Witty When I Drink

I am a new you when I drink
Amazingly witty; almost too witty for myself
Charming to the utmost degree
I would ask my friend 
But they are gone now
Because they cannot take my magnificence.

I am truly the royal Canadian queen of America
When I drink.
I am the Pharaoh of Egypt’s right hand sergeant at arms.
I am the cat who invented cream.
I am all that and more when I drink.
If you leave how will you understand brilliance?

Man I am witty! Spectacular! All of that plus to bags of chips.
For some reason, when I drink I become the best me 
The best of the best of the best of the best me.
Man, I feel powerful right now.
I am truly stupendously awesome!
Sure. Hit me another.

Panagiota Romios May 17, 2020 at 5:47 PM Enjoyed! Bet in reality, many poets do drink before of writing...or snorting! Alcohol is a depressant, for sure. The worst thing to imbibe when down. PRxx Caren Krutsinger May 19, 2020 at 1:10 AM I actually can no longer have alcohol. It makes me violently sick. I never could have more than one or two so no big loss.
