No need to thank, happy to do it.
How thankful I am that I am not a poet and never need wrestle with such painful rhyme!
ReplyDeleteI've always been very find of nice/vice.
Yes, but when it gets into the grounds of 'sacrifice', 'slice', 'dice', and 'Beer at this venue is sold at an extravagantly expensive price', then you have cause for angst.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why I didn't mention it in the post, really.

'Beer at this venue is sold at an extravagantly expensive price' is enough to make me hyperventilate and/or cry.
ReplyDeleteIt also reminds me that beer prices have gone up yet again. Bastards. Soon I'll be too poor to get properly drunk.
But, strangely, against all principles of supply and demand, beer is currently cheaper than cauliflower. $7.95 a head at Coles, and you have to eat an awful lot to get even vaguely sozzled.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason for me to stick with the beer.
ReplyDeleteI hear they sell a good Victory Gin in the Dystopia Bar, Useful Idiot Lane in Carlton. Price is cheap: one soul. Perfect for your young aspiring existentialist writer!
ReplyDeleteThat mosquito/burrito rhyme is enough to make even the poets most hardened to the ennui and nauseau of modern life shudder with horror. Dear God! The burrito! Good heavens! The mosquitos! Aaaaaaargh!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a fan of gin. Pity, it ruins all those fantasies about being a drunken member of the lower classes in Victorian England.
ReplyDeleteIf only the whole world could be like Hogarth's Gin Lane.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this is why gin became an upper class drink of choice in America - obviously they had designs on English decadence.
I like a bit of the old G & T, quite a snazzy beverage. Oh, alright, not really that second part, but I still don't mind it.
