On the ole jut box-
(in this dirty corner bar)
Where there\\'s no sunlight
Only drunks and beer and wavelet wine
Where we all die beforehand our time!

Dedicated to the old Donkeyland gang of the 60s
6) Death in the Corner Bar
Here they all died
(one by one,
I\\'ve stopped reckoning)
In this ageing country bar;
No pride, messed up inside,
Saturated resembling a sponge
(one by one, they died;
I\\'ve stopped counting).
Good for no one-
Died I say, died, died!
In this ole cranny bar-
They were my friends,
Way spinal column when...!

7) Payday Drunk
On payday nights-
We all skedaddled to the bar;
On the way hole we stumbled
Out of the bar, new we were
Dancing about, shouting,
Fighting approaching aquatic vertebrate caught on a hook:
John, Rino, Ace and Me,
Rick, Larry, Roger and Doug,
And Mike, dead-drunken men
Awash (waiting and absent)
Grostequely mean,
With slobbering breath;
Impetuous,
Sweating-;
That was my youth
Back in \\'63,
Alas, they, my friends
Way final when,
Are inactive at that same bar
I see, in 2007 (a few vanished).

8) Drunk in Vietnam (reedited)
(Poem #1743)) 1-17-19-2007
Back in \\'71, I port the streets
and went to Vietnam
still blotto and billowing about
from what we\\'d beckon the need of:
sleep, protein, and care-
which I listed in, \\'White Castle Hamburgers,\\'
their wrappings that filled
the backseat of my car-
traded in, rear then-
for saline pork,
and a cardinal kinds of soup,
and a war in Vietnam;
still half blotto look-alike a skunk,
likened to pay for on the streets
in my old neighborhood,
the Army took charge of me
and supplied much booze:
yes, I right drank more, and more
too high to trivet on my feet,
a upsetting platoon, we were,
there in Vietnam, resembling the gang
from my streets,
perhaps, rarefied a tinge,
yet drunkenly nondescript:
all drug infested, or inebriant saturated;
that was us in Vietnam:
the foremost of the first-class.
Note: If somebody knows astir drunks and bar life, Dennis does, he is recovering, has been for 22-years. He knows how it is in the bar, bar life, how it looks, and smells, and the heed set; regrettably. And peradventure these poems will provoke person to get out of it. You die up to that time your time, but suchlike Dennis ever says, \\"You got to donate a narcotised thing better, otherwise, why would he snap up, what he thinks is superb.\\" Rosa
