Madman?

This guy picked a tough costume to wear for an entire evening, but he came prepared.
Notice the straw in his beer.

I was going to write a poem to accompany this photo I took at a holiday party, but I really don't feel like exploring my darker side tonight. Feel free to write one.

In response to my request for a poem to go with the photo above, Kendogg provided:

From angst and scorn and childhood dreams

a beggar knows what for.
Upon the throne of government
add tax for being poor.
Awake enough to feel the pain
and hatred for you all.
As dawn arrives and enslaves our lives
it's back to work once more.

  3. Elise,

    I never thought of that. As a matter of fact, I remember seeing people replenishing his beer throughout the night and don't remember seeing him or him and an assistant head for the rest room. Hmmmm.

    Kendogg,

    Ask and you shall receive...Now that's a darker side. Thanks! I'm gonna have to post this one on the blog.
