Howdy,

I've only recently have been joining the ranks of writerdom, so bear with me:

Tone-deaf crack-rackets

Tack weld the battle axe

Spackle-frack a paddy whack

Alibastor aligator

Ridin'

In the produce freighter

Drill it up

Pull it in

Hold it down

Throw it out

Twist it all up

With both hands

Keeping your eye

On the ball

Until the damn thing

Does nothing but

Squeak for mercy

Its very life

Bursting at the seams

Your actions

Will always

Make or Break you

Sometimes both at the exact same fucking time

Or like when you've been drinking vodka like water for the past twenty years

And every morning that burn in your throat tells you 2 things

1 Just how screwed your life is now

and 2

Your out of Vodka.. again.

And this etch-a-sketch ain't gonna turn itself into an ipad anytime soon

Without a trip to the liqour store

Or a muzzles kiss to the temple

Don't forget to pack you bags!

And your towel..

It keeps you dry

In warm summer rains you know

Though I don't know why

You'd want that anyhow

Personally I'm kinda partial

To the sensation

Of heavy wet clothes

Holding me down

Here on the ground

Hair dangling in my eyes

Trailing water across my face

My shoes squishing and sloshing

As the socks inside them

Have become drenched from

The surprisingly deep puddles

I've been jumping in

Thats it.

My only question is: if I change "Alibastor Alligator" to "Calibrator Aligator" is there really any difference? Is there a preference or suggestion you may have

Thank you for reading this

I think that this is a good poem, the one that makes you think. Calibrator Aligator fits more i think atleast
I'm new here to, but if i was any help, than i'll be glad.

thanks! I really appreciate the feedback!
