Men in Bars

Men in Bars

 

by the third drink

they’re quoting Shakespeare

and exhibiting the eccentricities

of your ex.

Reviews

[Richard Knox]

Ha! Red flags, for sure. However, had it not been for the third (or fourth) drink, I would not have met my wife.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, alright!! How cool is that? Thank you, Richard!

predictable s***s we can be
but look who we hunt
women such as you friend!

[Kelly Scheppers]

The majority of you are pretty cool, I must admit. Thanks for the smile, Keith!

This was a fun poem, void of the usual pity party. However, being someone who frequented, and attended in my younger days, might I suggest finding someplace different.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I chose a bar for I figured people could relate to it at one time in their life. There's a companion piece to this, it's called "Women in Bars". Thank you for reading!

[JE Falcon]

Thanks for the fun read. No criticism intended. :)

[Mr. C]

I suppose I find myself boring people with philosophy or string theory. I am sure we carry things from exes to the table as well. Sometimes it's hard not to.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Most appreciate your time and philosophy. Thank you!

[Neville]

... I so wish I had thought of this .. & your latest one too Kelly .. brevitas succinctus superbus 😎x

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I love it!!

[Neville]

always a pleasure Kelly .. and always mine

[William Michael Reeves]

And stumbling over the heels of their clumsy intentions. You should post stuff like this together

[Kelly Scheppers]

Hi William! I didn't have the "women in bars" written yet, to post them both at the same time. It wasn't until someone suggested I write one in response that I did. Thank you for your review. It's always nice to meet someone new!

13 meager words, really? (Well 14 words if you do not use the contraction) Nowadays, I rarely drink in a group of "guys" these past several, several years. "Back in the day," when younger I did so. But even then I got tired of all the bullshit talking, the primate pounding of the chest, the trash talking, their latest conquest of the opposite sex, married or not . . . so I suppose this is not really a review of this write, but maybe a cautionary tale, if you will, of the friends you choose to be with. Even so, it gave me pause to remember I escaped a bullet in my youth. 13 meager words, eh?

[Kelly Scheppers]

...yep, 14 meager words! Lol, thank you, my Miller man!

[Aluppi Jampur]

I'd like to know where this bar is. :)
Enjoyed this one!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I thought since I wrote this about men in bars, it was only fair to respond in kind, so I wrote women in bars. That concludes my bar hopping scenarios. Thank you for stopping by! ; )

This brought a smile. It reminds me of a sordid joke about two girls in a bar. ( After two drinks the first girl looks at the second and says, "If I had another shot I think I'd be able to feel it. To which the other girl replies, "If I had another shot I think any guy in here would be able to feel it." ) I don't drink alcohol. Hot tea, black coffee, water. That's it for me. There's enough drunken fools in the world without my adding to the number. I enjoyed the read and forgive my lapse in social decorum with the crude humor. I wonder if that was an eccentricity of some ex out there. (smile)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Fabian, I quite enjoyed the joke, so there's no need to apologize for your "lapse in social decorum". Thank you, and welcome to my page!
