Misery and Gin

Memories and drinks don't mix too well

And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells

Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass

All I see is a man who's fadin' fast

No Way Out - The Sequel

So here's the answer to my post below.

So what do you know? There are ways of tracking which country issued a Euro note.

And what else do you know? Currency speculators like George Soros are already shunning Euros issued by Malta, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece and Ireland in favor of those from Germany & Belgium.

I guess some Euros are created more equal than others.

Bad Poetry on the Other Side

Whatever the world demands from me

I can't give anymore

It's always more

even when I've given everything

I can't afford the woman I love

I can't afford the kids I made

I can't afford the society in which I live

I can't afford the world at large

Do not confuse afford with money

though I have no more of that

You take without asking

Accept with out gratuity

It shall be easy drink

though the scenery may change

from being ever shuffled around

by the men with the gold

So drink some more

I'll love them all

I'll drink even more

I'll hate them more than I did before

I quit
