A few drinks with Amanda..

September poetry number twenty-seven.

I want to drink whiskey with Amanda..

Beautiful Amanda wanted to drink with Leonard Cohen and

I want to listen to her and to drink the whiskey with her.

I want to hear hear voice and

I would ask her.

Please tell me a story.

Tonight I am drinking alone and

I am drinking the cheap whiskey.

The cheap whiskey, make me wishy washy.

I have fallen down and I don't want to talk no-more to anyone.

Dear Amanda Shires, I do adore.

I would beg for a song.

Maybe a love song?

I know, I am just making a foolish wish and

I know.

Wishes, sometimes all we have.

I won't lie.

I would like to had shared a drink with Leonard Cohen.

I wouldn't talk and be so honored to listen to the poet of song.

Tonight I am listening to dear Amanda.

I told the night.

Thank you for the beautiful song birds.

We do need them.

I too love Leonard Cohen and your line with songbird reminded me of one of his first great songs, bird on a wire. Thank you for the memories.

I saw Leonard Cohen in concert in Germany twice. In 1978 and 1979. He sang for four hours. In Germany, they adored him. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

Though not classified as an hymn, Cohen's "Hallelujah" qualifies as such for me.

Just some words John. I liked the Amanda Shires song. To be able to drink with Leonard Cohen and he paid. Would be a good day.
