We were in another world

An era of immortality

Life was in our hands

We were shaking the trees of knowledge

Till we ran out of quotes

We drank to get drunk

Tripped the light fantastic

Sang our throats dry

We swam at midnight

We danced through dawn

And laid on the lush grass

Half naked staring at the sun

We named all our hangovers

Tornado, Burst Brain, Breeze, Thunder, Morose, Dynamite

No tears were shed

No fights ensued

It was laughter, song, dance, drink and sleep

We drank ourselves to the point

That we forgot all the memories

We promised to keep.

Naming hangovers is a great idea. I wish I'd thought of it a long time ago. Sometimes one would run into the next so they'd have had to have double barrel names.

Nice poem. I enjoyed it.

The worst is Green Mamba - pepperment liqueur. It's a Mugg's game.

Pepperming liquer sounds evil.
