After sun there is rain
then her and her brandy on
a gloomy balcony—
moon sharp like a forced smile
Dark skin folds under
a dark, windy night, in
chocolatey air—with a note of
chemical cherry, candied like her lips
imprinted in the snifter’s memory
It doesn’t keep track
of the route of sun, only
the dusty cabinet and her
trembling finger around its neck
Breathing seems unnecessary, at least
when glass no longer tastes like rejection
numb lips no longer taste tears
The green leafed tree in the harbor.
There the freights are advanced.
Sailors with quality tools, while
diners feast and play chess. The edge
Of the merchants dine hall has a Blindspot
where tugboats honk there horn to
enter the harbor. A large pile of bones
where the chef has stacked them, for
the jewelers to retrieve them to make
Carved ornaments for tourist and others.
We find there Snorkel and Algae two
Fiddlers who play music while diners
Eat at the Surfin Toot restaurant.
"Anchors ah shore maties, Anchors ah-
Shore!"
Captain Morse Pierconn

Chauffeur play'd Hymn
But didn't play me
Swift sung to her
But didn't sing to me
People like song
But didn't like me
What we gon do
What we gon do
Indough neigh ah
Ah beautiful ismuss
Brazilian strings
A pretty lady
We sing ah song
But song don't
Sing me
We sing ah song
Of love!
Tired after her travail-
a happy hour'gal
Brandy and Petey, a duo so sweet
Their love is a bond that's hard to beat
Petey, her pooch, has stolen her heart
Together they make the perfect pair, never to part
Brandy and Petey, they walk every day
Exploring the world in their own special way
Their love knows no bounds, it's plain to see
As they wander the world, just Brandy and Petey
Petey, her pup, is more than a friend
He's with her both through thick and thin
He's loyal and kind, through and through
Everything Brandy wants and more, too
Brandy and Petey, they're quite the sight
As they roam through the fields, in the morning light
With a wag of his tail and a lick of her face
Petey has Brandy's heart, this is their place
Brandy's love for Petey can't be measured
Their bond is one that will last forever
Petey is the love of her life, it's plain to see
As they walk hand in paw, just Brandy and Petey.
George IV requested brandy
the first time he beheld her
horrified at the sight of she
who was to be his bride
Neither of them demanded a drink
so I couldn't be nearly as ugly
as poor Caroline of Brunswick
They wouldn’t have had time
to finish it anyway
both receiving word of a dire crisis
they had to deal with right away
so soon after their separate arrivals
on different days months apart
Deja vu
Apologizing profusely before
striding out the door
never to be heard from more
Quite a coincidence, don’t you think?
It must be bad luck to agree
to go on a blind date with me
Rollo Rigby was a lover of candy
he kept a big supply ever handy.
But he became so obese
he waddled like geese.
He quit candy but is hooked on brandy
(making his life fine and dandy).
Ate my Halloween candy
Brother is such a dandy
Why did he do it?
He’s a real misfit
I’ll feed him some bad brandy

I once had a sidekick named RickHop
Whose verses, on PSoup, were a flop
Until he found out--
Without any doubt
Brandy while scribbling made vague lines pop!

A Limerick, Old Or New:
Your Personal Favorite Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich
There once was a woman named Sandy
Who liked jelly candies and apricot brandy
While her teetotaler husband was away
She drank a bottle of brandy that day
When he was home enjoyed only the candy
There once was a stooped man from Pontiac
Who was an old ailing insomniac
He tried pills
Added to ills
He should have been drinking brandy cognac
It's 4am and she's got me listening to love songs and drinking brandy
Reminiscing and thinking back to when we were happy
Now I'm sat here alone, missing you sadly
It's 4am and she's got me listening to love songs and drinking brandy
Things come to an end, and that's how it's got to be
Until I get over you, I'm going to be heartless and act like all the love is lost in me
I hope when I feel like texting you, there's someone stopping me
Let me pour another shot for me
I wonder if you think about me?, or am I erased from your memory?
Do you regret giving me a chance?, do you miss the chemistry?
We can't be friends, but I hope you don't see me as an enemy
Have you deleted my number so you don't end up drunk texting me?
The secrets will stay between us, nothing needs to be exposed here
Do you miss my tongue?. Sorry I don't need to go there
I hope you move on and go into new relationships with no fear
I miss you a lot, but that's something you already know, dear
Maybe one day we'll reconcile and be happy
Right now I'm in a lot of pain and hurting badly
Sometimes good things end sadly
It's time to go to sleep, cause I've drank far too much brandy
Expelling a sigh
the scent of your breath distills
a vapor of love
Limerick : Once a Pathan paid for a brandy
Once a Pathan paid for a brandy
While in the company of (a) Dandy
Dandy was all so gay
He squealed like a blue jay
While Pathan jumped up on his bounty.

Took Brandy to
dog groomer today,
for a bath and haircut,
she now smells like
a beautiful colorful rose
made in heaven so sweet,
not sure if this new dog
is really her that I brought home,
knowing it really is her
and loving her even more,
if that is possible.

That is what I call
her, my little Brandy girl,
love you baby, such a good
little dog, my best friend
in the world, my beautiful
little companion of mine
each night of the week
can find you resting so
deep in sleep by
my bed, during the
night your barking
awakes me, such a good
watch dog you are,
I get up, to find nothing there
but air in the wind or a falling
branch, but at times you have
barked at something that I saw.
Each morning I wake and there you are,
sleeping so soundly by my bed.
Feeling so good having you as my dog,
will enjoy these moments as long as I can
my dear Brandy girl.
