"Pardon me sir, but is it stuffy in here?"
I said to the host; as I hung up my coat
He said, "We have beer just no air-conditioner."
"God, that's a shame..." I stated with leer
As I thought of a William Yeats' quote
"Pardon me sir, but is it stuffy in here?"
The quote had something to do with peer -
- groups going nuclear... Not to dote,
but did he say, "We have beer just no air-conditioner."?
Because, I'm poor as hell, and sure to mirror
this asshole's sneer with a foot note
"Pardon me sir, but is it stuffy in here?"
I hate the rich, they're the cream center of fear
In all that they see, do, and hide behind moat
Did he say, "We have beer just no air-conditioner."?
I should have stayed home, I'm in the third tier
Too hot for a reading of what this famous poet wrote
To say "Pardon me sir, but is it stuffy in here?"
And hear, "We have beer just no air-conditioner."

"the cream center of fear" Damn, that's good. From my single experience of trying to bend my head around this style, I know it takes skill to make it look so easy. And Bohb's comments are excellent - You take something and twist it until it rocks in just a way that is truely your own style. Good stuff.

Doesn't matter the tit already didn't give me a medal, that's poopy doo?

Nah..Yeats said, "Barkeep...a pint of your finest stout and, pardon me, but is it stuffy in here?"
"to hot" should be "too hot".
Other than that, my boy, you have a rollicking good villanelle going here in a subject that is both odd and different. If you can't be normal, be interesting. And you've done that in Spades. Don't forget your hat. -
Yeats drinking quote " Son, remove your hat from my stool lest I sit upon you, and ponder immaculate conception." nah, just made that up. Speaking of death, I was just wondering why you would want to commit SUICIDE (such a droll word for catching the 5:15) you seem like a highly kosher cat, what's with the negativity woman? lol, just wondering, I hope you won't be serving up anymore self throttlings, it's rather trite don't you think?

Yeat's Drinking Song:-
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
cheers! a good tribute to one of the greats!

Yeah, I get a lot of that.

good job i understand where you're coming from with this..i think. either way, i really liked it and you did a good job on the villanelle. i've done a few but not quite as good as this!
-
Okay......
Im kinda confused on what this is supposed to be about....a beer drinking poet that is extremely hot???
Sorry but I have no clue...not the smartest peanut in the turd.
