Don't Drink And Write,You Could Wreck Your Feelings (And Somebody Could Get Hurt)

One beer

       Two beer

              Three beer;

 

       Now I can write;

 

With my emotions numb

And my vision unclear

I can spill the ink

And it will still make sense.

 

       Fourth beer chugged;

 

Now I can say

What I couldn't before

And still claim

Plausible deniability.

 

Fifth beer downed;

 

Now what I print

Will remind me

What the subconscious

Won’t say,

Once reality sobers me up.

 

       Six beers later;

 

The evidence is gone,

Now I can pass out in peace

Before I express

What I sense

When my thinking isn’t clear,

And hurt my own feelings

With intoxicating truth.

Oh, I never drink and write - good advice Dale!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well I was speaking metaphorically but yes it is good advice.

[MagicAl]

Oh, really enjoyed this... and so true!! Good job! :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much :)

[Brianna Brie]

Now this is a new topic. Just in case, I stay off social networks when drinking.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

hahaha good idea, thank you.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Ouch! I agree with Marie. I'll give you permission to have one or two, but stop at to for your own dignity...ok?

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Okay I will do that… only cause you asked nicely.

[Bright Ocean Star]

oops! Sorry. I meant stop at 'two' for your own dignity. (See what happens when you drink and write at the same time? You clearly lose the ability to spell worth a darn.) :)

Some writers do good work while they drink. Hemmingway did. Stephen King dd some of his best work while stoned.

However posting comments on W.C. while drinking is a bad idea. You can't delete them...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Acctually you can, but in time is the question.

[David Scott]

I may have posted too many poems while imbibing... Ha! Too funny Dale. Too true probably as well.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly sir.

[Jennie Baron]

I like what Ance said. Red wine is more my beverage of choice...but we digress. Very articulate and full of truth, and well thought out in expressing it.

[Matching Socks]

Cheers Jennie! I raise a glass!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much for your kind words Jennie

[Linda alexander]

Very nice poem, know so many fine poets used to do this, never tried it, no intention to do it in near future, I have heard plenty of times truth comes out when some one drinks, a poet who drinks a lot stops all of a sudden his ability to write may or may not change, really enjoyed poem

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much, I was actually being metaphoric but you made some great points.

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, take care

[Matching Socks]

Dear God,

Please grant me the strength to always be honest and true...
And God has answered with another glass of fine red wine.

Drink for Truth

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Cheers, raise our glass in the name of blatant honesty.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, as they say...the drunker we are, the truther we be.

[Matching Socks]

Lol! :) .....

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I believe that, well until I am drunk, LOL
