It leaves a five month hangover.
And the Monday morning wind
Says, “It’s time for longjohns.”

which none may dam or channel
time waits for no man

not to distract from the poem….

‘inexorable’ is a marvellous word.
‘in’ – negation
‘ex’ – out, outside
‘ora’ – spoken, prayed
‘able’ – possible

exorable – something which can be prayed out, successfully appealed against
inexorable – something which is impervious to prayer or appeal

“Hasn’t failed me yet!”
Can often be found
Playing Russian roulette.

He rhymes with cheeses
Old and far too ripe
To bear the gentle fragrance
That wafts, so tantalizing
Beneath his eager nose.

The taste is there,
His soul devours
Yet puts to rank words
The scent, which charmed and bound him
Heart and soul. His putrid pen
Scribes odor, not aroma.
Curdled ink betrays him.
