PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When are words not enough?

Words are never enough

They lie and they’re inefficient

but I can’t write

a poem about it

because no words will flow

thanks to a gnawing craving

for a Bass Ale

because of the sign

I can’t get a beer

until I get to New York

and I can’t find the way

to write a new poem

called “Words Are Never Enough.”

So hence the journey

continues on the train

and moves slowly thru Jersey

trudging towards Manhattan

and me without a beer  or a poem

It’s just enough

to make a man

go stark raving mad
