A lovely, rhyming, rhythmic verse here that tell the story of the drinking man and woman and even though I don't, I get the picture loud and clear

Wow, I just read this again and it's a marvel of craftmanship..The unusual rhyme scheme is the icing on this one..does it justice in every way. ;) Sorta made me wish I was the barfly type, just so I could soak up some of that atmosphere!

You've captured the unexpected beauty of things in life that shouldn't be; without ever asking why, and that is something this universe badly needed, so thank you. For this.

You set a pace and a tempo in this poem that goes just perfectly with the theme, the rhymes, with everything! Really nice! !

I love the structure of this, and the observational tone in which you write it. You paint a vivid picture.
