I sometimes write things for hubski under the tag #todayswritingprompt. The real poets on this site include _refugee_, humanodon, rezzeJ. thenewgreen has amazing song lyrics and even flagamuffin has impressed me over the months with a verse or two.
Working and quite guzzling
But the state of the economy to come Is dark scary and puzzling
When I'm drunk on kahlua and rum Come on lil - you know me well
Certainly you've got it right Would indeed be a cold day in hell
Ere I was sober on a Saturday night yeesh
A cold day indeed! This reminds me of Ogden Nash. I keep one of his poems in my pocket to use at parties and events to seem clever. Here it is: That's right, I said "booya" after an Ogden Nash poem. There is a first time for everything.
Boooya! There is something about a martini
Ere the dining and dancing begin
And to tell you the truth
It's not the vermouth
I think that perhaps it's the gin
Hey, at least you are a poet, I'm just some lyricist.
