I'm a poet

They asked me how I knew
Racoon shit was blue
In my terse reply
I could not deny
One had hit me in the eye

I get drunk when I'm drinking
I get drunk when I'm drinking
I get drunk when I'm drinking
This is all that I am thinking.

There was a young girl from Gloster
That the family thought they had lost her
They looked in the fridge
And saw she was hid
But the problem was how to defrost her

I was mercifully free
of poetry as a boy
a sadness to which
I am now afflicted
but back then I knew
the sky was blue
and the earth was red
and that sometimes
poetry has gotta hurt
like falling out of a tree

Poetry is a wonderful and beautifully pure expression of the soul. The problem is that most amatuer poetry is some of the worst, banal, emotive unendurable shit. Alcohol will not even help.

Limericks do count as poems, but only just.

So, despite a lack of constructive suggestions, I'm still keen to put on a regular poetry night.

Which venues in PNH do K440 readers think would be best suited for these types of events?

U2 or Spy or the Rock might be your best bet, or that Apsara stage on Sisowath.

beatnik pad ,beatnik pad
man like i dig my beatnik pad.
being alone aint all that bad
Long as i am, alone in my beatnik pad

beatnik pad in spring and fall
bullfight poster upon the wall
i dont even worry about nothin at all
at home in my beatnik pad.

bare lightbulb hangin in the middle of the room
flickering in boheamian gloom
like a birthday candle in a tomb
enlightening my beatnik pad

until nature calls

LOL

mary had a little smack
a little meth, a vile of crack
mary had a little smack it made her feel no pain
and every time a vein blew out she'd find another vein

she took her smack to school one day
which was against the rules
she threw up in a toilet stall
and smoked a pack of kools

mary had a little smack,it kept her calm and spare
increased her wit and added a strange luster to her hair
a very tiny small amount
much much to small to share...
