A wonderful non-limerick, norm. Easy rhymes and a resonative message. I've never cried into my pint before, though - I like mine sweet and fizzy. ;o)

Keep writing.

My experience with crying in my beer has always worked for me
just as long as I didn't do it on the job or just before going to work.

And one should never, heaven forbid, lose work due to applying
this palliative, *g* 'cus then you've got something else to cry about.

But I find that the beer, or its big brother the whiskey, acts as a
lubricant to help you expell the poisons from your system.

One caution though, never do it alone. You need a sympathetic
buddy 's shoulder to cry on. And he needs the lubricant to put up
with all the whining and moaning.

A good write.

Now Norm My Dear Friend,
Guess I'll have to issue a rebuttal for all your nonsense.......I remember perfectly, if you don't mind.....I know my mind!!! And none of it was my fault either. He was mean and still is.......he's a dirty rotten ....... loser.....because he lost me of course.....How you can say that I was wrong....well bless my soul.......I had a broken heart that really took a roll!!
Well written poem, but I must write a rebuttal!
You men you all stick closely together.....sticking up for each other!
Harhar!
love
consue

Nice to see a longer work from you
Although I love everything that you do
You make my day
with the words that you say,
and I love your poetry, too!

That is so true, our minds let us only view things and situations from a point of view that makes us look good. we have to make the choice to be honest with our selves then we can truly heal;

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
