I work hard all week long
looking forward to the weekend
working hard for every dollar
same hand in out it goes, capital fodder
Friday comes bills are paid
take a walk to the corner bar
looking forward to a cold Corona
chase it with a snake bite, pappy's koolaid
Looking around the room, begins the fun
meat market display has just begun
shaking head I let out a few good laughs
men and women gone wild, sexual psychopaths
I am who I choose to be
sitting here alone I enjoy the weekend show
single white males, females in drunken frenzied glow
one HAPPY Anti-Social drinker, yep that's me

Oh my it is really rather quite hilarious watching the FRESH MEAT MARKET DISPLAY; as I call it, at the local bars, pubs and clubs! Oh my the showy display lengths some folks will go to!!!!
Yes, I know the rhyme scheme is different! What can I say, I love to experiment!

This had a nice voice to it. I remember those days...they haven't changed much except there is kareoke now. I haven't been in a bar for a long time...at least not by myself "looking" Thank goodness for a soft place to land every night. I agree, it does make for interesting poetry. Oh, and guess where I met my husband??

Meat market, meat rack it's all the same. Love going to my local bar watching the drunks do kareoke on Saturday night. They also dance as well as they sing and if it wasn't for them I'd have nothing to write about. I'll have to try a Corona next time. Enjoyed this little peek into your meat rack, yep they're all the same.

I was never a social drinker. I isolated and pretended to socialize on occasion. It's also hard to puke and make friends. I could go on and on. I came home one night and my wife started screaming about what a worthless drunk I was. I had puked on the shirt she ironed and I promised to keep it clean. A friend gave me $20 and told me to tell her HE puked on the shirt and paid for it. We all thought she would buy that story. Anyway, when I haned her the money and explained myself, she counted the money and said I was aliar, because there was $40 not $20 there. I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you...he crapped in my pants, too!"
OK, I hope you laughed and didn't get offended. If it offended you, I'll apologize now.

Entertaining
I don't have any personal experience! But I've heard it is as you say. I got a chuckle from "Alcohol is my antidrug" because in my books it's one of 'em.
I like the style of this poem, just enough rhyming and nicely random.

Bravo
Hmmm, a very interesting poem, not the everyday selection of topics to be sure. I definately like the imagery that you convey, and I actually think the light hearted feel of the poem was the perfect surprise foil to what is expected by the title. Bravo. -
excellent
You are you....you don't seem to be a problem....it's your life
well expressed / good write -
Meaty :)
I enjoyed this poem even though I had to read one line twice "The meat market" is a new expression for me and it did give me a chuckle Nice write
-
I guess I need be careful how I act when I'm out drinking in case you are watching me... and I become your next poetry fodder... lol
-
Worth the click.
It was an interesting little read, but the title didn't quite capture the light-heartedness of the piece. I thought it was going to be very serious. -
I got the saaaaaaame problem
