Hold It, Swill Then Swallow
When my mind starts to wander
of its own accord,
which it seems to do increasingly ..
I might just wonder,
if you ever think back to the day
when I begged half a cup
of single malt, from a neighbour ..
Indeed, I still query
what he may have thought of me
back then, had I told him
it was not for me, but for the cavity
that kept you up
all night long and in so much agony ..

Sad words Neville, I do hope you are OK.

I am fine .. this was a recollection from a long time ago and the tooth belonged to my now departed lover ..
A fine write N.
KP wanted to swill and swallow some gin, but I gave her some pig's swill! lol.
I'm a beastly guinea pig sometimes. She will use me for part of her real fur coat.
One can only keep one's fingers crossed and wish
Seh might be warm enough with her layers of botox and not need a fur coat. heehee. It will turn to blubber in later years. lol.
Taking on someone's pain....even if it's a long ago memory...still stings. 💜💜💜
Absolutely LIZ .. and I do still miss her from time to time .. 💜
A periodic battle that is even more painful than the flashes of agony when the beverage is too hot or too frosty... ouchie
it was bloomin painful I can tell thee .. I have no neighbours these days which is why I always keep a spare bottle handy .. Neville
A Proper salute reminds of fortune and I felt this and what better testimony than the remembered gift of a single malt. Homage defined !
I learnt a very important lesson back then .. forget what Bob Dylan said about lightbulbs .. always keep a spare bottle handy .. cheers for the thumbs up Bobby O .. Neville
Next time you take that long swim put Chicago on your list and I promise THE Tour that the guidebooks overlook.

But, did you keep the tooth as a keepsake of that departed lover? Imagine if you will, running into her today and presenting it to her. 🙂
The chance would have been a fine thing .. Pam unfortunately passed away within five years of us each going our separate ways ..

What a touching memory, and how sweet of you to procure the remedy. I hope it did the trick. Long ago memories, always there waiting to pop up. Love this poem!
I'm not sure it worked as well as they make out in the movies Bella but it was a long time ago .. I just wanted to capture the moment .. thanks again as always .. Neville
