Like A Country Song
Feeling like a country song
Sitting on a bar stool somewhere
Talking to a drink mixer
Who wishes he were anywhere else
Stumbling in the pouring rain
Numb to the sting of the wet and cold
Laughed at by the young
Scorned and tongue wagged by the old
Throwing empty shot glasses
Trashing the empty parking lot with bottles
Then speeding too fast down a road
Truck mindlessly skidding around full throttle
Singing songs with a shaky voice
Screaming at God waving trembling, angry hands
Tearing at disheveled locks of hair
Crying out Why, why, why, I don't understand!?
Sitting on a bar stool somewhere

Scorned and tongue wagged by the old

Trashing the empty parking lot with bottles
Then speeding too fast down a road
Truck mindlessly skidding around full throttle
Singing songs with a shaky voice
Screaming at God waving trembling, angry hands
Tearing at disheveled locks of hair
Crying out Why, why, why, I don't understand!?

Really, I like this poem.
Begin with installing the decoration :
"Feeling like a country song
Sitting on a bar stool somewhere
Talking to a drink mixer"
And I love too the last stanza :
"Singing songs with a shaky voice
Screaming at God waving trembling, angry hands
Tearing at disheveled locks of hair
Crying out Why, why, why, I don't understand!?"
I see the story as a movie. Very nice, Kitty!
