[QUOTE="poptop, post: 17344, member: 474"] My pleasure. No one was coming to the rescue, so I felt it was up to me. Plus I have insomnia, and your name is Blackberry [I]Wild[/I] instead of Blackberry [I]Mild[/I]. That's a free ticket for a free scan of the volumes of the B. I have left. You deserved a response, Blackberry Wild. Your request was that of a gentle spirit, and I got something from typing out the poems: I could pretend I was a Bukowski for few minutes instead of a Poptop for a few lifetimes. (By the way, Poptop isn't my given name, lol; I wasn't actually named after the opening of an exploding container. Does the name Clark Kent ring a bell?) I offered some alternatives to "Bluebird" because some listeners like the metaphor of birds twittering, but might object to the mention of whores and whiskey at a funeral or memorial service, unless you get them plastered first. That can be costly and inconvenient. The one of "You Know And I Know" is one powerful dirge of a poem, masculine and serious. If you want more of it, Poptop will be glad to pop the keyboard and tap out the rest of it. Or you can always take the arms of one poem and combine it with the legs and torso of another, to make a beautiful Bukowskian Frankenstein of your own special devise. You're welcome. [/QUOTE]
