[Serious] Poetry
#28
RE: Poetry
People used to asked me why I spent so many years doing pub gigs as opposed to writing and marketing my own stuff.  These are the same people who would sneer at my standard answer ('Because it's easier than working for a living').

Honestly - I could sit in a warm, smoky pub, make wads of cash in tips and a cut of the bar, playing songs for half-in-the-bag tourists that they already knew by heart, OR I could exercise my other option of slowly starving to death.

Decisions, decisions...
