POPO2022 day 16 — drunken lout

Posted by Lisa or Li on

card 16 drunken lout resized

karma comes to play
when a bastard goes astray
barrel bottom blues

karma comes to play
in wee hours or bright of day
stark silence of fail

when one goes astray
to a place of no return
dingos sniff your trail

barrel bottom blues
as they rip out your entrails
pieces everywhere

      This card seemed like an anomaly in the pack of postcards I got, but not all can be peaches and cream, especially when it comes to drunken louts.
