Today's selection is really a song, but it is poetic in its own right. I Love by Tom T. Hall is a song that I sang to both my girls when they were young, although I would substitute rootbeer for bourbon. I became a fan of his quite by accident. A cassette tape was left in my player in college. His style of story telling reminds me, a bit, of my grandfather's.
In using a song as poetry, I'm reminded of a "Saturday Night Live" skit. It had a high school english class with kids submitting 70's lyrics as original poetry.
Enjoy
