Terrific, but why do you add all that sweet stuff to it?
GW, I'm bottling my latest, orange blossom honey/cherry ale, tonight.
My brother blew up our shed making beer. Added too much yeast, or something. A hell of a bang was the result, anyway.
Prententiously expensive you mean. Along with the barleywine. My boyfriend made beer 4 years ago. Best beer I ever tasted. I think I'll try my hand at it.

Brando screams "Stella" in A Streetcar Named Desire".
Stella is reassuringly expensive, so they tell us.
Frass

Zzin, are you suggesting Nick should change it to "sleeps..."?
I thought this poem was about "On the waterfront". Works for me.
'sleeps slips far'--tasty!
I thought it was funny-ish. Definitely.
"light growing, streetlights ending"? Good haiku.
I like Stella Artois, good beer. But, methinks Sierra Nevada Big Foot barleywine would cause a row and a ruction to begin.
Good non-cheesy rhymes, crisp rhythms, a snappy ending - good.
why must she cost so damn much?
My first thought was, this is too long. By the end, I was right with you. This is devastatingly sad.
i gave it a low vote, but only so it could rise to the top of the wurst list. i think it's hysterical.
Oh come on, it made you laugh, didn't it? Just a little?
