A Gadfly Drowns In A Brewery

Rating: 5.0


Oh! That's a marvelous place.
I didn't taste it yet I was very dizzy.
My wings totally got wet
And hardly I escaped from the cauldron.
Straightaway I flew to a country Pub
Where the drinking companions rushed.
Landed on the brim of a mug
And listened to their conversation.
Some they sing, laugh and dance
Some argue with the deeds.
But I found a soul at a table corner
Who cries alone.
I was so sorry and realized later
When a dumb got drunk he only cries
And what else he could perform?

This is enchanting, Nimal. Your drunken gadfly and his tale of intoxication is as unusual as it is amusing. A maudlin drunk is not a pretty sight. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A very sad poem. Crying that has no future. That gadfly should have chosen a more optimistic place to spend his last moments. Compelling write. Always your friend, Sandra
