Atta-Gal I'm your Man tonight
The perfect indication
a smirk, with some flirtation
a special night
for dating
do you wanna dance with me
Suggestive comments got me thinking
that atta-bouis
and all that winking
laning on me
got me thinking
you wanna dance with me
aint got the right stuff for staying
work in the morning my Boss aint
playing
But you got me wanting
some forward thinking
the night aint through
when the band finishes

Two Drinks
If you love me, I don’t feel it
one kiss does not seal it
I’m on my way without delay.
Only two drinks away.
Two drinks and I’ll be done.
These days are not much fun.
I remember we had a good run
but now I’m on my way.
Two drinks away,
I’m on my way
to circling the drain in the morgue.
I am really

Two Drinks For The Road
Death walks over,
boots quiet on the bar floor,
pulls up a stool
like we’ve met before.
He tips his hat,
cold eyes, tired grin.
Says, “It’s time, friend.”
I just nod,
signal the bartender with a raised chin.
"Two drinks for the road."
I say it like a prayer,
like a dare,
like I’ve still got something left in the tank
even if I don’t.
He doesn’t rush

Sour Drinks
She'll be the queen of my decrepit ridgeline,
Her crown, heavy with my wasted want.
Never knows best, a fault of design.
Her tensions a dagger, a cunning divine,
A soul-bleeder, god as a vaunt.
She'll be the queen of my decrepit ridgeline.
The arson of anger will never confine,
For the plaid that’s been woven, I a gaunt
Never knows best, a

Drinks and Blues
Together we walked the road
Through the heat and through the cold
Many years ago
While those day were ours to lose
Ten bucks bought the drinks and blues
We grew past the school days
Slowly we changed our ways
Many years ago
After we paid for our dues
Ten bucks bought the drinks and blues
The college years came and went
Walking out we felt

Drinks Made From Cold Water
There are many drinks
Made from cold water
When making coffee
Let it cool add ice
Making lemonade add ice
Add water to ice tea
Or a glass of water add ice
Add ice cubes to juice drinks
It makes them colder
When drinking liquor add ice
Except for the beer
It does not work out
Add ice to Apple Cider
For a cooler drink

April 6—Beverage, libation, liquid…
Daily Ritual Drinks Drink
in the morning
I drink a cup
of snarling hot coffee
while watching the news.
in the afternoon
I shift to tea
either earl gray
or herbal tea.
a day without Earl Gray
is not a good day.
at sunset
I drink red wine
with my wife.
as the evening
shifts into night
I drink rum
or whiskey.
to eat the day
right.

The Liquid Euphoria
Lost in a bottle
Blessed with an all seeing eye
Pain out of the window
Inconsequential, to live or die
The world's your oyster
And mankind your playground
To see with the eyes that's not your own
Silence is the new sound
Unhinged crackling
Laughter from the depth of the soul
Smiling like a fool
Being wild and free, was your only goal
A way

Giving up the sauce
The whiskey on your breath
could make a small boy dizzy
I taste a liquor never brewed”
Emily Dickinson's - The May Wine
I am asking my hands to stand their ground,
vintage wine leaves my soul spellbound.
I don't know where my lips are bound,
my ears hear the glass clicking sound,
I desire to run fast like a

Tea and Other Such Things
Have you ever had a Christmas Tea?
I used to say, "It's not for me"
'Til recently, I tried it, see
Turns out it's the best I've had
See, I never liked hot drinks at all
I much prefer cold, in the fall
I order iced, in sizes tall
But this one isn't bad
It smells like citrus in the house
While the radio

Spiked Drinks Got Them All So Rolling Drunk
Spiked Drinks Got Them All So Rolling Drunk
Universe spun out of control and died
The planets sputtered out and then fell
The southern boy liked his chicken fried
And preacher's young son rang the old church bell
Hope lost its heart and thus began to cry
The throng laughed away, nobody cared
High sheriff asked, did anybody die
Mike gathered rabbits he
