Carries she more than just trouble-drowning shots,
A comfort derived from the itch. No more than a
Rash, a constant, recurring rash to be scratched,
Loathed and cursed, and comforted, customers are
Akin to her own self-begotten brood.
Normally, he lounges at the end of the bar,
Obliges himself to drink full his tab,
Remembers to forget to go home. He is
Maturity’s masterpiece.
Contrary to popular belief, the
Lazius postalis developed in ancient
Ireland and was known for doing his work
Fast, but evolution has brought
Fashionable tardiness to the fore.
Simple.
Arrogant.
Male.
Dire straits, a crossroads in her life. How did she get so
Involved in the Boston bar scene
Against her pre-post-graduate dreams?
None of her former colleagues accepts her
Efforts at becoming haute-couture.
Can anyone evade his charm?
Others you can ignore, but try ignoring
A man who names the beer mugs.
Confused and confusing he is, but ever straining to
Help those whom he loves.
Call one more round on the
House. You can be sure that
Everybody knows your name; that
Everybody’s problems are the same; that you can
Return whenever you like. Just be
Sure to reciprocate.

What are you doing as a lawyer? I don't think you'd have any problem getting anything publish. The time to write may be another matter. But you have got talent.
