14,000 Things to be Happy About (#51) I usually post these in Open Forum or Critical Analyses, but this one seemed a good opening for introducing myself right here. Now I go down to Hooligan's to have myself a slug, And just the time that I am tossing down my second mug, Old Flannery, he asks me if I happen to have knowed That Jules has opened up a new saloon across the road, So he and I we wander out and cross the street to find If this new place has beer to match the old familiar kind. And it is pretty good, and yet to be quite clear of doubt, I head back to the first pub from the which I started out. And it is just this time that first I notice that the street Is not quite flat. It slopes up rather gently 'neath my feet, But isn't much, so I forget it, until I start back An hour or so later and, what do you know, the track Rises pretty steep towards Jules', so I am breathing some, And I need several ales to catch my breath. Then back I come To Hooligan's, but by this time, the climb is straight uphill. I never crossed a road so steep, but I climb on until I have to crawl right up the slope, and almost at the door, I lose my grip and roll back down to Jules' saloon once more. I lie there in the gutter, feeling sick and seeing stars, And all along of that pair of -- UNEVEN PARALLEL BARS. |

Ted, Excellent poem. Welcome to the Pub. It's nice to see someone who's been around Passions finally make it to the Pub. Don't be a stranger. Drop in from time-to-time to share some cheer. ~Gene |

Well, sounds to me like your a Pub hopper type of guy. Had you stayed at the first Pub the scenerio here would not have played. We could have danced till the stars were out of sight, never realizing we drank away the night. |

Tut, tut, Nurse Crachet, you ought to know drinking and dancing don't mix. You mustn't lose your mind two ways at the same time! |

Yet if two minds exist as one does that mean none can have fun? Why cannot drinking and dancing combine and make for an evening dressed just fine? |
