BOURBON TALKING

BOURBON TALKING

A Poem by Julie Grenness
"

A vignette from my life.

"

I listened to promises from a drunk,

"Bourbon talking," I should have thunk,

The day passed, the weeks concluded,

I tried to work out who was deluded,

Waiting for red herrings,

The months and years were ending,

Decades rolled by, one day,

I realised he should be at AA,

Not so comical,

The vocab was lyrical,

Centuries passed, millennia concluded,

World exploded, universe imploded,

Worked out who was deluded,

Now, for tradies, through phone books I go walking....

So, girls, never listen when it's "bourbon talking!"
