Pub Of Perdition Poem by Ted Sheridan

Pub Of Perdition

Rating: 5.0


11: 11 and on God’s dime
I borrow a prayer from my childhood
and I ask him to forgive me
for every bad thing I’ve ever done.
The rain stopped and the sun came out
briefly; long enough to wash me of my sins.
11: 15 and God left; late for lunch.
And me, well I was back to my old habit of drinking before 5;
only this time it was with a pint more humility….

I don't think you're alone in your humble confession - or in your return to 'business as usual'. I enjoyed this. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

drinking at the pub of lost souls, it is amazing what two hundred and forty seconds can do with your life, damnation verse humility
