My Best Ever
The wine flowed from the bottle
as the words flowed from my pen.
It was my best ever.
A match for the greats:
Kipling, Thomas and Henley.
And one that my favourite, Bukowski
Would be happy to say
You matched me today.
I celebrated my masterpiece
With another glass of wine
Before going to bed, joyous
With the feeling I had created
My Magnum Opus.
In the morning I rose,
Clear headed and happy with
The memory of my creation.
I read it again.
It sounded different.
This was not the splendid verse I recalled.
It was the ramblings of a drunken mind
Bukowski would say
Try again Man
This is a pile of crap.
Suddenly, I had a hangover.
