A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

[HarryHill]

Brown Cow

*Harry stares down Tessie's top while pretending to look in his mixology book*
..
version one without Coca Cola
..
Oh ho, a champagne flute
Très elegant, if I may say so
perfect for you
but would you have Kahlua
or try crème de cacao
Milk ...? No,
you look like a cream girl
Splash of rum, urr?
shaken w/ice, strained

Try that

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Creme de cacao - so much more - erm - European and cream if you have it.

purrfect!

To be sipped while conversing so........what shall we talk about, Mr Hill? *nibbles on nibbles*

Let's talk about you. Still wear those glasses?

The rose tinted ones? Today we are getting torrential rain so, yes. Are you bespectacled too?

Afraid so. Some claim that mine have a rosé tint as well ..

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

I've just got graduated bi-focals - I was sea-sick for a couple of days. What's your favourite food, Harry?

 

[HarryHill]

I've just got graduated bi-focals - I was sea-sick for a couple of days. what does wearing glasses have to do with rain? What's your favourite food, Harry?

Whatca got? ... that is to say, there's little that I do not enjoy... perhaps Hispanic food would be my fav, followed closely by pizza

Grey days are less depressing when viewed through rose tinted lenses, n'est pas?.

but of course, all days are grey days after 50, even when June sears soul and skin with sun.

Oh dear, cheer up. Fifty is the new thirty!

 

[HarryHill]

I feel younger already..
..
Miss Tristesse
dressed in leather
stiletto boots
in her hand impatient
a silken whip of sighs
used on all those tied
tight with teasing words

Then my work is done.

HarryHill!!! I never thought you saw me in that way.....(taps crop on boot)

thought you would be amused by the play on words with your name. If I have offended, cry pardon.

No offence taken - amused, yes.

really like that phrasing, harry


as for being in the fifties, we're wise enough to appreciate our mortality whilst still young enough to enjoy it.

 

[HarryHill]

Thank you. Buttering me up for another drink?

as for being in the fifties, we're wise enough to appreciate our mortality whilst still young enough to enjoy it.

or...wise enough to anticipate our mortality whilst still young enough to embrace it.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Over the Hill?

Don't get depressed again Mr Hill. You are as young as you allow yourself to be without losing the dignity of maturity.

HarryHill isn't over it yet
he's still full of beans
and his full sail is set
we know what that means
it's not nearly as good as it can get.
​

 

[HarryHill]

Why so formal? Call me harry or toi, but please not harrytoi although that might be appropriate.

HarryHill isn't over it yet
he's still full of beans
and his full sail is set
we know what that means
it's not nearly as good as it can get.
​

..
Bet you are kicking yourself over that last line.

 

[butters]

do i need to butter you up?
*best get out the silver butter-knife, butty*

or...wise enough to anticipate our mortality whilst still young enough to embrace it.

yeah, that works as well

Whiskey Sour Squash: without butter

Mix whiskey sour in a Collins glass
use bourbon or sour mash
careful with that elbow
It's not the strength but the taste you know
fill w/sparkling beverage
here variations abound
take a taste and tell me
if you like this drink I've found
Cherry on the bottom

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

..
Bet you are kicking yourself over that last line.

Why?

 

[HarryHill]

Why?

..
because it seems to me to be rather clumsy compared to the cadence of the preceding lines, not a normal thing to see in your writing. Perhaps I should be kicking myself for saying anything.

What do you mean? The whole thing was clumsy. Perhaps you should, or I could :caning: you instead?

 

[HarryHill]

What do you mean? The whole thing was clumsy. Perhaps you should.

God Tess, even doggerel should have some redeeming graces. :caning: Really? Miss Tristess has a stick, but Harry's not around; he's gone down to the river, pitched a tent on the old campground.
..
Cocktail?
