:) You took some serious concerns to this bartender and managed to write a very witty poem. I love the way your language changes as you start to feel the effect of the booze, Bob. I sound the same way after two glasses of wine. LOL Best wishes in Natalie's contest! Love, Carolyn

This is a progression and confession of a troubled drinker, Bob. I tell ya, if this doesn't hit the top, I don't know what will! Where have u been hiding?...I will check out your other topics... I don't drink at all, although this does appear cartoon-like. Gwendolen
