Last Call

Jo King loved frothy tankards of beer
Which she drank every day of the year
Interred in a keg
She swallowed each dreg
So her tombstone reads, "Wish you were here!"

Hidden Shapes

Listen to poem:
Hidden Shapes
David J Walker

Hidden shapes assured of shadows 
Haunting 
lingering  
From a shared past 

A scant vision 
of tomorrow

A bitter tankard of 
borrowed sorrow 

Where do I begin   
to repair to my 

Entitlement

A Qualm

A qualm
Settled upon me
Instant unease
I felt it
Course through
My body
Senses
Instantly
I grab my sword
Scurry
A page of words
Trying to keep up
Make sense of it all
A picture 
Emerged
That broke my heart
In a way
No lady could
Yet
Her words
Creep upon my ears
"That pale sustenance, despair."
I drink
From the tankard
Again

Horn Haiku For the Day

God has a great goal,
Only honesty in each poll
That will save our soul

God golf is playing
Ball and soul started straying
Bad words was saying

When ship had anchored
Miracle from God occurred
To us served tankard

God did determine
Are covered with much vermin
Must be a German

Just so happens that Horn family
originated in Rothenberg, Germany.

Oh, and last one.

Dramaturge

I portrayed the knave of hearts again,
A role it would seem I was made for.
I ventured off script and silenced my critics
By drinking them under the table.

Classically trained in the tavern arts,
I’m a boozy, bibulous sot.
A virtuoso of chugging a tankard,
A maestro of downing a shot.

I've been typecast as a barfly.
It's the same old morality play.
I’ll adlib my lines to upstage the lead,
And be star of this grim cabaret.

Security Misfit

For a security slot, A Sluggard,
For a praised company, rather haggard:
From long unemployment a drunkard,
Full tankard draining after full tankard.

Also, a listener at nights to Bard
And could Security suspend for Card, 
Still, hopefully, he seeks to be her guard:
In many circles this fulfilling dream bared,
Most likely to collapse, if he is barred…

But a company won’t have things snapping
Through a guard sure to be caught just napping!
