This is an enjoyable read and easy to digest. You did a great job with it. I hope it turns into a contender becaus it really describes a guy trying to get over a lost love. I didn't spot any typos and it needs no revision. Good luck and god bless! Jim

Hi Author,
This is such a terrific posting - your words absolutely lend themselves to a song. I'm thinking country/western.
Celebrating his/her leaving is so clever and earned you a sixer.
Hugs,
Lou

That's good because they are indeed Country song lyrics. Thanks for your comments and support.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Nicely done, as usual, Brett. The cadence, rhyme & rhythm flow smoothly. The message the piece conveys, while quite sad, is a pertinent one and easily comprehended. it's complex in context yet simplistic in form. You don't need to break out your thesaurus to figure out the meanings here...
Good writing, and good luck...~Dean

Truly I enjoyed the poem, not in the way of celebration, but beneath all the talk of drinks and boastful expression, there is an underlying element of pathos. That just goes to show that what is lost is lost and is truly unbearable.
Quite an eloquent poem in many ways. I enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate your comments.
Comment from Bill Schott
"One less bell to answer. One less egg to fry." This reminds me of that old Dian Warwick song about getting past the breakup. It burns with the sense of doubt and sorrow.

But it is party time in celebrating her leaving and his being so very glad she has 'hit the road Jack!" Thanks for your comments and continued support.
Comment from Jackarrie
This is a very good entry into the contest. A typical way to try to forget by using the bottle of booze. It may help for a time but reality has to set in some time. It is very well written and the image goes well with it. I wish you the best of luck

Comment from Dawn Munro
Huh - as I read this, I immediately knew these had to be lyrics (although I hadn't checked again - bad habit of mine). Well done, especially that repeat line - "set 'em up, slam 'em back, and forget you once again." - I see this dude and I can almost 'hear' the music.

I enjoyed reading these lyrics. I think this is a universal theme that many will relate to. My favorite lines are: "I toast another lonely night out here on the town.
It kills the pain and helps shoot your memory down."
In a sense the speaker is celebrating her leaving and in another sense he is drowning the pain. I love those concepts being woven throughout the lyrics. I am assuming these are lyrics for a country song as it has all the necessary elements. Thanks for sharing! I hope to read more from you.

I probably shouldn't review this one since I detest alcohol and don't see the humor at all in "celebrating" a partner's abandonment by repeatedly getting drunk. Still, there are a hell of a lot of people who handle their pain this way and you certainly made that point on their behalf.
