Sleep on

sorenbarrett

Too lazy to be tired, too tired to be lazy
Too crazy to be mad, too mad to be crazy
Images fade in a spiked lemonade
Rage delayed in closed eye's shade

    Lemonade is delicious and so is the fighting spirit within this, take what comes and ride with it. 🌹

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks so much Teddy Lemonade spiked with vodka will either raise the temper or put one out and depending on the amount of sugar in the lemonade leave a sweet or sour taste in ones mouth. Appreciate the read my friend

    • RSM0812

      Short and sweet.

        A popular french expression to designate an unpleasant situation : '' C'est une mauvaise limonade ! '' (Its a bad lemonade ! )

        • sorenbarrett

          Thank you Lorenz for the read and comment it is most appreciated. Yes I have had bad lemonade literally and metaphorically. If enough vodka is put in it, it will begin to taste better.

        • RSM0812

          It's like the lemonade is a medicine. However too much of a good thing is bad.

          • sorenbarrett

            Thank you for your review and comment it is most appreciated. Come to think of it hot lemon tea and honey with a good shot of brandy or rum in it is good for a cold.

                    • Jerry Reynolds

                      A fine write, SB. I can't afford Lemmons enough for lemonade. But there is some cheap vodka I pop into Ginger ale.

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thanks so much Jerry for the read and kind words. Lemons there are enough on the trees to meet my needs its the vodka and sugar that need to be bought and require effort.

                            Been there, and get it entirely! The problem is when the sleeping on halts and reality hits. Still, damn that lemonade sounds worth the delay. 😉 All jokes aside, a well done. Powerful metaphor. Well done, my friend. 🌹👏

                                Opposites can also attract soren.
