So normally on Monday, I do a Dear Women post. To be honest, I just don’t have the time or energy to come up with anything today because I have an essay to write by midnight, I haven’t eaten yet today, and I still have a two and a half our class left to go to tonight as well as a practice from 10-11. Gotta love college. Instead, I’ll be blessing you with a poem I submitted for a grade in my creative writing class. Poetry kind of blows, but this one is quite good.
“The Bender”
The bender began on a Saturday night
Two of us on Meyran, it didn’t feel right
Soon after that, we added four more
The bender continued, some slept on the floor
We drank, we drank, we drank for fun
We drank, we drank, everyone
Out on our deck, we threw many a party
People came and left, some stayed quite tardy
But it didn’t matter to us, they all were our friends
We all started to wonder: when do benders end?
We drank, we drank, we drank together
We drank, we drank, we drank for forever
After a week, we had friends come to visit
Fifteen people in one house, a shock, is it?
Trash began to build, dirt covered the ground
The bender kept us all spinning, around and around
We drank, we drank, we drank one and all
We drank, we drank, we drank until fall
Our friends soon departed, and we sighed with relief
We were all getting tired. Drink more? Good grief!
But we had a mission, a grand task to complete
We mustn’t stop this bender, never admit defeat!
We drank, we drank, we drank through our pain
We drank, we drank, we drank ourselves insane!
For seventeen days, we continued on this trend
After fifteen, all I wanted was to reach the end!
But I got through them all, all seventeen days
Some may not believe me because this feat does amaze
We drank, we drank, we drank in celebration
We drank, we drank, we drank for the intoxication nation!
