Belly up to the table, our soup is well liked. Just don’t drink the cool aid, I think it’s been spiked. Come and get it while it’s hot, it’s the best I’ve been told. Beware of the poets who like their soup cold. Our table is large, there are plenty of seats. You can sit for a spell and enjoy some good eats. If it’s been a rough day and you are feeling subpar. We have ice cold beer, on tap at the bar. Everyone is welcome, come and give it a go. You might become famous you just never know. Our poets are diverse, each flavor unique. Welcome to our club, come in and take a peek.

I have a confession, don't tell my husband!...I spent the night with another man. Pain kept me awake all night but Mark kept me entertained until dawn. I laughed, I cried, I lamented, I pondered. Mark, you were the best companion to lighten my dark night. May your pen never run dry. Thank you.

Mark, I guess I'll have a vodka martini. Just pass the vermouth cork over the top. I like it very dry! Absolut will do just fine. Shake it, don't stir, okay?

I'd like to order cheese nachos, cold beer on tap, and poem readings about pleasant things. Peace and brotherhood would ring out in that room. Put the darts away.

There is a big bowl of peanuts too. I’d grab some quick, Victor is being a little hoggish with them.

I live alone and have very little time for poetry soup, perhaps two or three hours. So I suffer when my followers skip a day or two.

Merry Christmas, Victor. I live alone, too. Belly up to this bar and enjoy yourself. We're all friends here.
