Weekend Wake

Going to a wake
for Winter this weekend.
We’ll raise bottles of beer,
shots of chilled Grey Goose,
roll dice,
deal cards,
ante and bet,
burn red meat
‘til the stars get hungry,
keeping one eye
on the Weather Channel,
making sure
the old bastard doesn’t rise.

Well, it sounds as though you're busy tonight but tomorrow if you are able, please come and join the FFMB march. Every Friday, I post 3 friendless blogs that are in need of comments.

I have further info about the band on the bottom of the Friday posts.
