nothing like three glasses of wine
to loosen the tongue and
park inhibitions on the wayside
if only i had known
that's all it takes

Purim Serum
Reverse the decree, costume quorum,
Dour outlooks, ingrates can wait,
To “V’Al HaNissim” respond “Amen!”
‘Til Shichur or REM inebriate,
Confusing “Baruch Mordechai & Arur Haman”,
Choose an opponent as a receiver of being considerate,
Send Mishloach Manos, listen quietly to Ahem!
Uplift with LeChaim! Drink Schnaps to hydrate,
To a Purim Seudah gather friends,
Imbibe wine! Purim Torah relate,
Hamantaschen savor as Oneg’s the end,
Be generous to a fault, an Oni sate,
Is Purim Serum bourbon?
Or Simcha shared? Requires Iyon, Ruminate!
This poem may be wordy surplus, excess, abundant,
Which means “A lot!” Not at all “Definate”

truth serum
take a sip
see what
happens
next
the truth
shell set
you free
it is cleansing
to the soul
everyone should
partake once in a will
it will relive a guilty
conscious

Honestly i don't even know
what i am doing on here
As i will be the 1st to admit
I am not a genuine real Poet
All's i really do is turn my everyday thoughts into word's
Even a child can do that
And probably better

I sip and I sip
As rhyme drips from my lips
I shoot from the hip
With inane useless quips
My pen is the arrow
That points at the page
The ink is the poison
That's spreading my rage
It has no indifference
And writes with disdain
About how I feel
Of this world gone insane
But also it speaks
Of love and desire
And feelings within
That burn with a fire
To have and to hold
The things that amaze
The pleasure that comes
From one simple gaze
The sun in the morning
The moon in the night
The song of the sparrow
The Earthly delights
And sometimes it brings
To front something more
Like pain of a sadness
Or joy of amore
The ink of my pen
Is the blood of my script
Recording my life
From my birth to my crypt
