The Devil's Bar & Grill Sometime between birth and now I lived, I loved… and then I died. I lost the will to see the good things, to believe in positives, to have a heart, and soul. Somewhere between yesterday and today, I courted some philosophy… 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. I saw a certain amount of truth there, so picked up the phone, dialed your number, arranged to meet you, loaded my gun and headed for… The Devil's Bar & Grill. w. james beard, jr. |

Yep, this one made me laugh! Very good work. Sing while you may -The Prophet Qa'sepel Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen -The Prophet Qa'sepel |

MMoonchild - when I wrote it I was just kinda playing with thoughts about those people who really do those kind of things - when I re-read it now, I can see where it turned out more serious looking than I thought depending on your perspective. Ah well, I like the title and may use it later on in another piece I have in mind. jwesley [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 08-24-2000).] |

JWesley I like the title. The poem was interesting. "Arranged to meet you, loaded my gun, and headed for... the devil's bar and grill" I really thought this line was interesting in the respect that if that someone believes in the bible, ironically thats where they are headed in the long run. I know you said that this was a play on thoughts for those who really do these kinda things, I just feel you caught the irony in this one by what's left unsaid. Garfield |

Hi ggrn3 - your catch on the irony was great as it was purposely done...didn't know if anywone would see it though. Still, it was a fun poem...nothing seriously meant by me. My wife is just fine... jwesley |

I loved this title also, I think we could do a dissertation on a place of that name! Great poem, I did at first feel it more seriously, but after rereading, I see the other side. catalinamoon |
