    It seemed right that I should make my 300th post in this particular forum, so here's a new poem from me. :)
    As usual, all criticism is welcome.


    Closing Time
    The nightclub undimmed all its lights
    At half past two and sent us packing,
    Allowing only time to search for coats
    And exclamations of another job well done;
    Another personal best for which prevention,
    The next step, would out-weigh cure.

    Then eight diverged to five and three
    Outside the shining kebab shop door,
    Allowing time for smiles, mischievous grins
    And exclamations from a Donor-virgin’s lips;
    Add a new favourite to the menu list!
    Then back outside into the rain

    To search after the other five
    And make up eight for the wet walk home.

    Tommy Collins

    On second thoughts, maybe I shouldn't have posted this in Times New Roman font... In further self-critique, I really should have put more effort into the poem itself.
