Just One More......


just one more she said

There are times when I wish I could take a drink .. but it doesn't agree with my acid reflux.

Of course this poem does, as it comes to life when I think of the folks I know who are suffering from alcoholism, and these are their famous last words .. poetically said.

There is poetry in everything.

...and when I'm very drunk I say, in pidgin french: "Une pour la rue, si'l vous plait" then I fall off the bar stool!

Which is quite sad really, and I shouldn't joke about these things.

I think it's good that you can 'voice' her conversation and highlight her situation so poetically.

Very clever, lovely twist (With lime or lemon) tough I fear our protagonist may be on the rocks soon.

The circular form works really well for this. Nicely done.
