Thanks, H. I'm not exactly sure where all this talk of liquor came from because this song doesn't mention it and it's not about the bar scene...but I do like bars and liquor quite a lot so I'll let it slide. ;0)

Hence the little word "Lyric" next to the title.

For future reference, you can just say 'gin and tonic'. Adding the water to the end just makes you sound like a pretentious asshole.

...I'm Rick James, bitch.

No, I am most definitely not Dave.

...and by the way, The Raleigh Song ain't half bad.

thanks for the input.

take it however you want to take it. :)

I didn't even notice that, thanks.

You know, you really should write something good yourself before you go around making smart ass comments on peoples' poems.

Never said it wasn't poetry. I just agreed with the above comment that it's an essay. It's very well done, and if you notice, I gave you a 9. Poetry is an abstract thing and stating that it's an essay is just breaking it down into a smaller category. I never claim to know "what poetry is", which you could surely tell by reading some of the crap that I have written. I apoligize if you took my comment as an insult.

Obviously Mitch wasn't in Cedar Grove, TN for the 'Great Frog Attack of '76'.

I know what you're saying but please see the above (and ongoing) exchange between Shuushin and myself.

Depends on waht you expect to accomplish with your writing. If you don't care if anyone enjoys it and simply want to create art, then I think it's ok. But then you go back to the aforementioned question of "why do it at all if no one wants to read it". In other words, I don't know. I just write 'em and hope that SOMEBODY likes 'em while still letting me say what I want to say.

eeaaasy killer.

tired. But that's the idea.

Was there bad language in this one?
