Yeah, well, there’s a price to be paid for everything, right?

Bugs were crawling in my hair
Wild Turkey is bad

My dear friend, embrace
Moderation in all things.
The path of wisdom.

Thank you, as always, for those kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

“Sweet amber solace” works for me.
Sometimes a bit too well.

The curse of the Irishman, laddie. ;) And thanks for the idea about the picture.

There are other ways to ease the pain but just once in a while and a teeny bit of “Sweet amber solace” does relax you. I like Haiku. My son-in-law is 1/4 Japanese so we have Haiku poems around the house.

I tried to make it so you had to think a minute to get the point. It seems as though I succeeded. I’m not a big haiku guy, yet for some reason this form seemed appropriate for the subject. Thanks for stopping by!

Perhaps, but this one works. Immediately.

They make me think a long time
of man’s condition

My dear friend Beto
Your comments mean a great deal.
Thanks for coming by.

I LOVED the flow of the feeling of the words – it is very calming. But, I was picturing a burning bush and hoping you weren’t referring to a naked redhead….

I’m ALWAYS thinking of a certain naked redhead. :twisted:

So i googled Macallan and it suddenly made perfect sense!

Ah, glad you figured it out. ;)
