We threw words
like tossed shots
of bad vodka;
they didn’t need to mingle
with sensible tastes,
gullet and belly
were the places for fire.
Tomato juice and celery,
Worcestershire and salt,
weren't required mixers,
we supplied the blood.

that's really interesting! I like how you have mixed it all together - -I had to read it twice, though, until I really appreciated what you were saying -- good work!
Wow! I agree with J. Andrew. Magnificent!

Nicely tactile. Great stuff Pat!
Bloody mixture. A hell of a thing.:)

Gosh, this is such a smart piece.
I love the way you've created the smooth transitions between such perfect analogies.
I really enjoy this excellent poem.
Pat, love how you ended this, like a great punch line to this very effective, energetic little feud.
it just has to get well beyond being polite, doesn't it? well expressed!
Andrew glad you enjoyed this!
Thanks Vaughn!
Thank you Aurora!
Jon, thank you!!
Thanks Russell!
Yes, Borut it is!!
Lukas we all have our own special BM mix. Lemon pepper sounds good though!
Properly mixed bloody Mary does too!!Thanks J. Cosmo!!
Thank you Kai!!
Thanks for stopping by Inkblot!!
Floots, I probably should've used the word cheap, but it's pretty over used, so I went with bad.
Iamnasra, Aurora is pretty famous, but we let her hang out with us anyway!! Thanks for coming by!!
Yes, Polona it is, but it doesn't change the medicinal qualities of one properly made!!
Amy, thank you very much!!
QNT, always love reading your comments!! Thanks!!
Boulies, that little feud lasted 8 years, and didn't end very nice. Made if we'd have spent more on Vodka...
Thanks Steve!! Polite was never an issue.
Interesting concoction of words.
Strange what images this can conjour up...I like.
tentative nervous giggle, not knowing if I should laugh or cry..........hmmmmmmmmmmmm so who cleaned up the mess?
