WASHING IT DOWN

 *Inspired by a comment by A.g. Synclair on Facebook.

 

True

It is an acquired taste

But

Some like crap

In their writing

Just as others

Would

To certain others’ tastes

Spoil

A perfectly

Dry martini

With an excess

Of vermouth

About Steven Gulvezan:

Steven Gulvezan tries to work a story or poem the way a good butcher works a nice piece of meat – cut out most of the fat and gristle, leave something juicy on the bone.  Links to some of his writings may be found at:  http://www.mysterywriters.org/user/607
