Lemon Pop Tart Angel Fish Squeeze

Post by **mousey1** » May 17th, 2006, 2:15 pm

Sailing down the river
drunk on wine
I mentioned to my lover...
My God you're fine

He jumped overbored
It's all in the timing
I guess

Stuck a quarter in a jukebox
picked a favorite tune
started jumpin' and ajivin'
kicked off both my shoes
before I knew what happened
I was outside on my knees...

No shirt

No shoes

No service

Walking in the moonlight
Wishing on a star

Drank a little too much happiness
Vomited on the bar

I whispered, "Hey Bartender
pour another won't you please

for life is like a lemon

if you want drama

you gotta squeeze"

I was laughing at your opening lines and with the humor you mixed the truth, squeeze life hard to get the juice even if it might be sour. I do love your poetry. "C"

if you want drama, push me into a corner. I like the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" lines. Kind of reminds me if you're not like the rest you're not wanted; or perhaps if your not with the in crowd then you get overlooked. Just thoughts.

Always enjoy your words mousey.

cool, yo. cool.

i used to have a friend who smoked the rat poison to let his mind wander in different directions. i think he woulda liked to've ended up where you at. so here's the squeeze: how's a mouse go down the rat poison road and make it into lemonade?

beautiful words.

24. Being so whacked out on intoxicants you know you'll never ever be as whacked out ever again-and you haven't barfed yet

I could NOT let this fall off the page for even just the title alone makes me smile...nice write!

& as I always say...when life hands you lemons buy some tequila!

(That might not be the sagest advice...but bare with me I've been handed plenty of lemons!)

Thank-you all for the reading and the nice words.

I'm always looking for the f-u-n in the p-o-e-t-r-y
and
for the f-u-n in l-i-f-e

I felt the squeeze of the lemon
I felt the juice squirt in my eye
I felt the lovin' darlin'
and I'm floatin' on the natural high

here's to livin' lovin' laughin'
and the spurt of life's delicately tart juices
keepin' us alive
