If you're in a bar, you can always order,
many brands of beer from south of the border.
The three biggest brands any connoisseur would know,
include Corona, Dos Equis, and Modelo.
However, tariffs will make us pay mas dinero.
Yes, we will pay more for cerveza mexicana,
while we reside in the United States of America.
"a session”
watching icicles forming on
the inside of my eyelids
thinking of you that’s
what i did while
you were at
group therapy
i was sitting home
alone
contemplating kissing
Señorita Cerveza but
knowing no one can
replace ya while
you were at
group therapy
i was sitting home
alone
tried to slice my
wrists with a butter
knife imitating suicide
like i’m imitating life
while you were
at group therapy
i was sitting home
alone
I think that I shall always fear
Mariachi with ice cold beer
Oompah-dazey
Drives me crazy
Igniting the sin in sincere
drankly i'm frank
my last cerveza
four beers before
so maybe i'm on
my fifth but that
wasn't a fifth
of Jameson
was that or
was that
something not
of the Irish sort
for what it's worth
for me to raise
my glass and say
cin cin like an Italian
which i did
regrettably
for my son
cheers was said
by all in Italy but
in his Japanese
heart he knew
i was saying
slang for
pea
nis
Red Faced Moon
What have we done to make the moon blush?
Thrown accolades and love poems,
blamed her for the awakening of the vampires,
the werewolf’s bad hair day.
Perhaps Mars has whispered something,
a sensuous and tempting invite,
a clandestine rendezvous behind Earth’s shadow
to watch the sun rise.
Maybe, just this once,
she stayed too long in the sun,
forgot her sunblock,
had one too many cerveza.

i sling rhymes
like i fling stones;
miraculous style
bound to rock your dome.
i got metaphors
like a fortune teller;
for sense like a psychic
when i predict futures.
my two cents
make so much sense
i gain interest.
i'm a bank-teller storytelling
shorty loving typo fellow;
clever like a rapper but lazy
wont spit it loco gringo.
just pen it and sling it
type borracho.
best go get your poncho
cuz im turning water to cerveza
then im dropping some rain on ya.
tasty styles token so your bound to be saying
is this hound playing or was he born easter morning?
