Oh This is So Much Fun By Richard Maxfield 2-1-2000 Cowboys and Drunks all around Come here to lay their money down They louse them self and some self-respect Gaze in a bottle and reflect Boast of things and tell a few lies While mates at home wonder and cry So much innocence has been lost in this place You can see it in ,hard lines in their face How many marriages, how many homes How much true love, set free to roam So many cheats and things not meant Never going home, all the nights not spent How many kids miss Mom or Dad To many kids alone and sad Oh this is so much fun Tomorrow, wondering what they’ve done All the fake smiles, snakes in the grass You can’t find love, not in a glass The years and the beers fly by, they wake alone Dream of a time when they had a home Copyright #RM99R4 |

As a former bartender and barfly? This is so so true...reminds me of that line from "The Piano Man" by Billy Joel "they're sharing a drink they call lonliness, but it's better than drinking alone..." and thank you too, for all the love and light, m'friend. I enjoyed this one much. |

Thank you for your thoughtfull comments. This the path my EX took and she lost everything that had true meaning. Now 3 years after the fact she sees and knows what she gave up. Such is life in the big city for the blind of heart. Love and light, Richard |

Too often many need to Ann Landers the moment and say "better with, or without"... and then say it again... well done Max.... |

I have been there and done that Long long ago. This journey is so pathetic and lonely with the outcome you describe a dead end. This was well done,my friend! Passion,imagination and intellect running together... Poetry in motion~~~ Aloha with warmest regards, Koko |
