She says she finds his writing to resemble that of Bukowski <br />Then she took his member into her mouth and courageously swallowed more than his words.... <br />Bukowski would have been flattered by any of her many comparisons <br />As long as she didn't forget the blow job and the beer <br />Young male poets get older and their inebriations become curmudgeonly <br />Their best years are kept in a glass of bourbon served on the rocks <br />Their best writing was done in the very early morning hours before dawn <br />Assisted by a well trained whore spewing the hyperboles about her Johns <br />To become a good writer is one thing even a drunken bard can do <br />But to become a successful whore requires a more critical eye to the world <br />Because life in general is easier to describe while in a drunken stupor <br />Albeit so very much harder to swallow without the ironies and the humor..... <br /> <br />2008 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-very-wet-lips/
