The 27 Club

The 27 Club: the strangest sort of pub. Seems everything is cubes. (except the ladies’ boobs) Those lovely duck fat fries are the exact same size. The burgers are all square, with centers nice and rare. It’s rational to try their 3.14 pie; sliced in a perfect third, the blueberry’s preferred. The sassy gal with hips brings twenty-seven chips. I like to watch her make a large vanilla shake with cherries on the top. Oh man, it’s hard to stop! You’ll slurp her with a straw and then you’ll slap your ma. And you’d have to be daft to pass up on their draft with IPAs on tap: no ordinary crap. The cover is absurd unless you know the word. But speak up and be clear; no twenty-somethings here. ---------- for the The 27 Club Poetry Contest sponsored by Anthony Biaanco written on 8/27/2022

You are correct, Jeff. I just found that out myself. I think I will pass on this contest, as I haven't the faintest idea how to address the subject!

Thanks, I think the '27 club' may in fact be a reference to a group of musicians and artists who all died at the age of 27, but I didn't know that at the time...
