A cocktail of my feelings
Shadows of fantasy come alive
The images toy in my mind all night
Will they come true, i wonder?

I Am In a Havana State of Mind

I am in a Havana state of mind
Lounging over a cocktail with a huge cigar
I am simple man of my people
Only on a separate pay grade

With a name like Wiener....
What did you expect?

He thought everyone was in love with his weener!

Or is his a cocktail sausage?

On a Cocktail Napkin

A dance of fire
and a Rootbeer
smile,
chewing french fries,
watching skin dry.


Hot dog buns show us
the true murderers.
salted pretzels
the sinners.

Divested

You assume I am happy
at the mall, at the beauty parlor,
at the cocktail afternoons with the girls.
Look in your wallet.
The plastic cards
don't say, "I Love You!"

Toilet Rush

Prawn cocktails I really do like to scoff,
but with this one, I’m not game to cough,
for it sent me reeling;
I’ve got a gut feeling,
that the prawns in this cocktail are off.

Premium Member Anesthesiology 101

The physician mixed a kiddie 'cocktail'
The young patient swallowed it and turned pale
   He quickly went under
   But the doc had blundered
He'd put in a pint of hundred-proof ale

Love Note Wisdom

As love grows older,
we learn to bend-not to break,
our hearts mature but
when an argument flares up
silence and a cocktail helps.
