Poetry can be addictive. As hundred-proof
hard evidence read this book about an abstaining but conscientious bartender
who obligingly attends to the needs of his regular clientele of boozers, abusers, and losers while wiping away any
evidence of impropriety. He has a solution for everything!If insufficient to
induce sober thought there’s other lucid accounts of lurid types with all sorts of
dependencies.
To give you a little
Taste, somebody is seeking the super glue of true Love for a bonding ceremony.
Compounding this, a solvent abuser-or huffier-solves problems by going off in a
huff. Add an anti-social drinker has Life in the bag...of brown paper. Put in
more pursuing their personal Passion, literally! Absorb how a nightclub
proprietor takes a portion for a ride with a lot of mechanical bull. Supplement
this with a hate-mongering skinhead stirring outrage in disorder to savour negative attention. Swallow how for some the
golden liqueur of choice is basking in public attention. Continue by tossing in
a few heated religious protagonists climaxing proagonists. Include also a stuffy scarecrow hanging out with
hang-ups, strictly for the birds. To top it all off insert a happy hobo
intoxicated by the great outdoors. Besides one for the road, study human
chemistry at work as characters release bottled-up emotions: a pliant pole
dancer gives things a whirl, a lady bodybuilder gets pumped, a pasty pastry
exhibits behaviour beyond the pale, and a spaghetti vender lets off steam as he
dishes out the spicy details. In one instance a metaphoric pile driver drives
home the point!
But most gratifying in this well-mixed miscellany is how Poetry itself
is actually the mysterious main ingredient-the potent catalyst-making inert
Substance actively work. Heavily laced with Rhyme throughout, chain reactions
compound the overall effect as Content is distilled into pure-or
impure-essence. Precisely Measured it's never watered down nor formulaic. Relax
laid back and imbibe each poem slowly or binge on the entire concocted
collection at one sitting. Everything is sweet! There's plenty of cool aid slipped in to conceal the
cyanide. Indulge! Consume! Sate! Enjoy what's in store on diverse themes sure to please even the
most finicky of palates!
