Poetry

You say I make the reader think
others say I make the reader drink
in a sense, all poems should be
a finger intoxicating, if to have
a minimum jigger of literary worth.

A slice of pizza and a nice cold beer! Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. That you, Oliver.

Hi Joe, I appreciate any good rhyming poem, and this is one that I read again. "Finger intoxicating," a great phrase to be enjoyed like any good jigger of spirits.
