Blasted Blond
There's always that one person that makes a fool of themselves in a bar. This is the story of one in verse.
Blasted blond
basting in bourbon
makes a scene
Sloshing Seagram's
Seven shots.
Lady is loud,
lamenting about
lasting health.
Yaps and yaps!
Makes you yearn
For her yield.
So soused she is.
So sick she looks.
She rambles a rant
To a friend she sees.
Saying endlessly
How soused she is.
She rises from her seat
Saying sheβs sick
But the bathroom in the bar
is far and futile.
Finally, she leaves fast
Only to puke and piss
Everything she eats
Everything she drinks.
And crumbles carelessly
to the carpet floor.
Laughter from longtime friends
Boom through the bar.
Blasting! Blaring!
And the Blasted Blond
Baked on bourbon
Barely moves.
becomes the buffoon
fool floundering for all to see.

Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.
