A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

I've got to learn to multi-quote!

*dances with the song playing on the juke box
shoes off, toes protruding from his socks,
through holes that knows no shame,
pours a shot of hair of the dog, sings* 'don't fear the reaper' :rolleyes:
 
..
I might slip in the grass, fall on my ass, get attacked by hairy spiders, looking for Neo. will you protect me?

feel the groove... :cool:

you won't fall but if you do, the landing's soft, the grass is lush and cool with dew
no spiders, but i'll save them and put them out of danger
looking for neo? in the matrix, no morphing aloud :cool:

Damn, sometimes a comma makes all the difference. aloud? wonder what she meant by that; a little butter on Dali's biscuit

*hops over the bar to pour harry a drink*
whatcha havin', 'tender? :cool:

vin ordinare, mon cher, big glass
*looks at selections on juke box*
 
mais oui, 'arri!

*hums 'john, i'm only dancin...' and pours two fragrant goblets of bottled loveliness*
..
*Harry walks to the edge of the stage, addresses the audience*
"There will be a rather lengthy musical interlude."
curtain falls, shuffling footsteps can be heard from behind

I laughed and laughed. ... Still am. Very funny, Dali would be proud.

*looks around - isn't the bar room big enough? we could always shift the dartboard :devil: )

Taking a chance and a moments inattention, grabs Tess into a waltz around behind the curtain *giggles ensue*
yay! dancin'!

......and that is why I didn't do my homework, too busy behind the curtain with Annie. :D
that's a good excuse to remember *nods*
 
Black screen
SFX: the screaming of a train whistle in the near distance
fade in: *Harry is sitting in the alley behind the bar, leaning against the wall next to the stock door; he is barefoot and there are several empty bottles nearby. a yawn and he speaks*
"Oh shit my feet are sore." *struggles to feet, hobbles away to find his car*
fade to black

.. why does riotous come to mind?

as promised, delivered
I'm afraid this is a bad

Email: a layered drink
to be taken after
something dark and heavy,
on the bottom, Jaeger maybe
then atop perhaps blue Curacao
yellow Galliano sets above
Maraschino liquor is last
sweet as the smile when receiving
a note from someone you love
yellow surprise caution light
where reds to go and green
queasy feelings turn blue
then the dark and final ending
liquorish lies last.
..
had a mind of it's own tempted to toss it in the recycle bin
hit refresh, sleep maybe read.

i've never had a layered drink other than irish/russian coffee, really, though i've seen them. it must be quite the art matching flavour combinations and not just making it about the visuals. the drink you're describing works as a great metaphor, and a warning to take care what one drinks. :rose:
 
Every time I put my head round the door I feel like a gooseberry *wonder if that translates well in the USA*

Come in Annie, sit; not sure what a gooseberry is, but you certainly could get goosed in here and over there as well; you should always be cautious, because the way I heard it, "As the bluebird of happiness fly's overhead, beware of the goose from behind." Cocktail?
