A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

gawd, i've seized up and need some lubrication (anaesthetic) for my goddamned joints

wotcha got, 'tender, or should i just help myself? :cool:
 
Yup, you can vote, get married, sue someone, be sued by someone and choose to go be shot at, at 18 but can't drink until 21.

Tennessee lowered the drinking age to 18 some years back but the Christians raised hell about it :rolleyes: and it was repealed.
eta: as if that made a difference in the county. All the bootleggers were well known by the high school kids.

Getting alcohol was never a problem, still isn't. Where there's a will, there's a way.

eta: it's ridiculous that there's a schism between the legal age for drinking and everything else. as if that extra three years of having to sneak around and flaunt the law will make you more "responsible"

As long as laws are passed by mandate instead of national referendum nothing will change

You're poking my ranting beastie with a stick. I seriously have notebooks full of my thoughts on the political/legal process.

It's in notebooks because the people that agree don't need to hear it and the people that don't agree would just ignore it.

Hows abouts ya pour me a drink and play me a song? Both on the lighter side if ya would.

Seems weird that you can't consent to anything until you're 18! THAT consent is 16 here

16 can consent but only with someone else under 18, otherwise the other person could forever be branded a sex offender. It's just plain stupid.

And 12 oh love, the bar's right fucking here! Have a seat, I'll buy the next round and slip you a little pink
 
Ha! I've got a kid old enough to legally drink, she's a poet as well.
how do I know you're not her, she looks alot like you and why is she trying to buy me a drink, or was that you? I didn't drive here, I walked. I have no ID, nor poets license. Care for a smoke? Or a mirror?

Well, she does look a lot like me, but no, it was me buying you a drink, and I wasn't asking for your ID. As to the rest, depending on what you're firing up, I might blow smoke rings into the mirror behind the bar.

Iffn I'm a bothering you, just tell me, this woman'll go and leave you be
